Correct Answer
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. A mixed number refers to a whole number combined with a fraction, while a common factor refers to a number that divides evenly into two or more numbers.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Common factorExplanation
A common factor is a number that divides evenly into two or more numbers. In this case, the statement is saying that if you have two or more counting numbers, then any counting number that can divide evenly into all of them is a common factor of those numbers. This means that the common factor is a factor of each of the numbers, making it the correct answer.Rate this question:
