Say there's 2/3 and 1/2, it's called Least Common Denominator, so you need to look at the denominators which are 3 and 2.
Now list the multiples:
3: 1, 3, 6...
2: 1, 2, 4, 6...
As you can see both of them go into 6 the least amount of times because it's the one that they both can multiply.
Denominators are whole numbers. Find it just like the LCM.
Example: 1/30 and 1/42
Factor them.
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCD

How do you find the LCM multiple for two fractions?
The LCM is used for integers, not fractions. If you're trying to add unlike fractions, take the LCM of the denominators (known in this case as the least common denominator, or LCD), convert the fractions and proceed.
What is the LCD for fractions?
The LCD for fractions is the LCM (least common multiple) of all of the denominators.
How do you find the lcd of fractions?
No sure way.just list the factors and circle common ones
How do you find equivalent fractions with lcd?
For the first fraction, divide the give denominator into the LCD, take that result and multiply by the given numerator to create a new numerator for the LCD. Repeat for each fraction.
How do you subtart fractions?
subtract? Find a common denominator (LCD is preferred). Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the LCD. Add numerators, keep LCD as new denominator. Reduce the fraction.
