Question

What is the lcd of 1/4 and 2/3

Answer 1

I hope this will help u It looks like 12 is the smallest number that can be divided by both 3 and 4, so 12 is our LCD. Since 12 is the LCD, it will be the new denominator for our fractions. Now we'll change the numerators of the fractions, just like we changed the denominators. First, let's look at the fraction on the left: 1/4.

Answer 2

To find the LCD (least common denominator) of a number, all we have to do is list the multiples of each of them and then pinpoint the lowest match.

For 1/4 : 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 28

For 2/3 : 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18

As you can see, I've bolded the LCD in these number sets. 12 is the LCD of these two fractions because it is the lowest multiple of each denominator that matches up.
