Compare the fractions
1/2
and
4/8

Given Fractions:  
1/2
and
4/8

Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 2 and 8:
LCD = LCM(2, 8) = 8
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (8):
1/2
=
4/8
  and  
4/8
=
4/8
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:
4 is equal to 4  (4 = 4)
As a result,  
4/8
  is equal to
4/8
Therefore,  
1/2
  is equal to
4/8
,  
1/2
=
4/8
