Step 1  Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:  LCM of 42 and 7 is 42  Next, find the equivalent fraction of both fractional numbers with denominator 42  For the 1st fraction, since 42×1=42  1842=18×142×1=1842  Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 7×6=42  37=3×67×6=1842  Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction  1842=1842 or 1842=37
