There is none because the Least Common Denominator (or LCD) is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators of two or more fractions. Even if you converted your numbers (x) to their fraction equivalents (x/1), the LCD will always be 1.

Well, honey, to rewrite 5/8 and 7/10 with the least common denominator, you first need to find the least common multiple of 8 and 10, which is 40. Then, you can rewrite 5/8 as 25/40 and 7/10 as 28/40. Voila! Now you have them both with the same denominator, making it easier to compare those sassy fractions.
First you need a common denominator: 3/4 and 5/8, the common denominator is 8. (4x2=8, 8x1=8) Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 2 so that it becomes 6/8. Now that a common denominator is established, you may subtract them with ease. 6/8 - 5/8 = 1/8.
