lcd(8, 19) = 152.
The common denominator for the fractions 6, 5, and 8 is the least common multiple (LCM) of these numbers. The LCM of 6, 5, and 8 is 120. Therefore, 120 is the common denominator for these numbers.
A common denominator, though the least, is 48.
The lowest common denominator of 5/6 and 3/8 is 24.
The least common denominator for fractions with those denominators (11, 8 and 6) is 264.
A common denominator of 6, 8 and 10 is 480. This is NOT the least common denominator, though.
120
It is: 120

To determine which fraction is larger, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common denominator is 8. When we convert 3/4 to have a denominator of 8, we get 6/8. Comparing 6/8 and 5/8, we can see that 6/8 is larger, so 3/4 is greater than 5/8.
The common denominator will be the LCM of these numbers, which is 120.
The lowest common denominator needed is 24
