A. Quick common denominatorExplanation
A quick common denominator refers to finding the least common multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions in a fast and efficient manner. This allows for easier addition, subtraction, or comparison of the fractions. It is a method used to simplify calculations involving fractions by finding a common denominator quickly. It is different from a common denominator, which is the shared multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions.
