You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The least Common Denominator (or LCD) is the smallest whole number you can put
in the bottom of BOTH fractions and still be able to put a whole number (no fractions) in the top of both fractions here's a list of common denominators
for these two fractions. can you spot the LCD?
1/8.................3/4
2/16..............12/16
4/32..............24/32
100/800........600/800
1/8.................6/8
11/88.............66/88
ALL the fractions in the first column equal 1/8
ALL the fractions in the second column equal 3/4
100/800 and 600/800 have common denominators, but they are not LEAST
only the pair 1/8 and 6/8 have least common denominators.
