To find the least common denominator, all we need to do is find the LCM of 6 and 15

First, list the prime factorization of each number. If you need help with prime factorization, check out this solver.

6: 2*3

15: 3*5

Now highlight the unique factors. Remember, highlight the factors that occur most frequently

6: 2*3

15: 3*5

Now multiply all of the highlighted factors

2*3*5=30

So the LCM of 6 and 15 is 30

Since the LCM of 6 and 15 is 30, the least common denominator of 5/6 and 11/15 is also 30
