What is the result of dividing $$\frac{1}{3}$$ by 4?

Dividing $$\frac{1}{3}$$ by 4 is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of 4, which is $$\frac{1}{4}$$ . So, $$\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{12}$$ .

The least common denominator is the smallest number that can be a common denominator for two or more fractions. For example, the LCD of $$\frac{1}{3}$$ and $$\frac{1}{4}$$ is 12.

How do you add fractions with different denominators?

To add fractions with different denominators, first find the least common denominator (LCD), convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the LCD, and then add the numerators. For example, $$\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{4}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{7}{12}$$ .
