What is the least common denominator between the following fractions?
- \(\frac{5}{6}\), \(\frac{2}{9}\)
- \(\frac{1}{12}\), \(\frac{3}{8}\)
- \(\frac{5}{9}\), \(\frac{2}{15}\)
Answer (3)
LCD is least common denominator, also called least common multiple LCM 5/6, 2/9 LCD is 18 1/12, 3/8 LCD is 24 5/9, 2/15 LCD is 45
18, 24, and 45 are the least common multiples of the denominators for their own pair. :)

5/6, 2/9 LCD is 18
1/12, 3/8 LCD is 24
5/9, 2/15 LCD is 45
18, 24, and 45 are the least common multiples of the denominators for their own pair.
The least common denominators (LCD) are as follows: for 6 5 and 9 2 , the LCD is 18; for 12 1 and 8 3 , the LCD is 24; and for 9 5 and 15 2 , the LCD is 45.
