Step 1: Reduce (simplify) entered fractions to lowest terms, if the case:
Fraction: 3 / 4 it's already reduced to lowest terms
Fraction: 11 / 14 it's already reduced to lowest terms
Step 2: Calculate LCM (lowest common multiple) of the reduced fractions' denominators, it will be the common denominator of the compared fractions:
Denominator 4, factored = 22
Denominator 14, factored = 2 * 7
LCM (4, 14) = 22 * 7 = 28
Step 3: Calculate each fraction's expanding number (LCM divided by each fraction's denominator):
For fraction: 3 / 4 is 28 : 4 = (22 * 7) : 4 = 7
For fraction: 11 / 14 is 28 : 14 = (22 * 7) : 14 = 2
Step 4: Expand fractions to bring them to the common denominator (LCM):
3 / 4 = (7 * 3) / (7 * 4) = 21 / 28
11 / 14 = (2 * 11) / (2 * 14) = 22 / 28
