7 Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 1 7 3 , 1 5 4 3 17 , 4 15 Method 1: By Listing Multiples List out all multiples of each denominator, and find the first common one. Multiples of 3 : 3, 6, 9, 12, ... Multiples of 4 : 4, 8, 12, ... Therefore, the LCD is 1 2 12. Method 2: By Prime Factors List all prime factors of each denominator, and find the union of these primes. Prime Factors of 3 : 3 Prime Factors of 4 : 2, 2 Therefore, the LCD is 2 × 2 × 3 = 1 2 2×2×3=12.
