For example, factor each denominator into prime factors. Then multiply all the prime factors, eliminate duplicates BUT ONLY if they appear in the factorisation of each of the numbers. NOT if a factor is duplicated in the same number.
eg 36 = 2*2*3*3
and 48 = 2*2*2*2*3
Then two 2s and one 3 are duplicated. Note that the only two of the 2s are considered duplicates even though there are 4 of them in the factorisation of 48.
So the LCD is [2]*[2]*[3]*3*2*2*2*2*3*3 where the duplicates to be removed are shown in square brackets.
= 144.

How do you find the common denominator of 3 fractions?
Pick two of the fractions and find the Least Common Multiple of those two denominators. Then take that number, and find the Least Common Multiple between that and the third denominator. This number will be the Least Common Denominator between the three fractions.If you don't care to find the Least common denominator, then just take the three denominators, and multiply them together.

What is the least common denominator of 19over20?
That's one fraction. You need at least two to find something in common between them.
How do you find the least common denominator of a set of unlike fractions?
To find the least common denominator of a set of unlike fractions, you first need to list the prime factors of each denominator. Then, identify the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the denominators. Finally, multiply these highest powers together to find the least common multiple, which will be the least common denominator for the fractions.
Find the least common denominator?
The way that you can find the least common denominator is by first multiplying the 2 bottom numbers and whatever the product is that is your common denominator. to find the smallest one, you have to keep dividing it till it is in counting order or there is an odd number.
