56

In comparing fractions, ensure that both have the same denominator to do so you may use two methods

1. LCD

The LCD of 7 and 8 is 56

So to convert it, you have to divide 56 by the denominator and multiply it to the numerator

2/7 = 16/56

5/8 = 35/56


2. Cross multiplication/ butterfly method

- multiply the denominator of the second by the first numerator and the denominator of the first by the second numerator, lastly multiply the two denominators and compare


Therefore, puneet gets the least share
