At least two fractions are needed in order to determine a common denominator.
The LCD of 5/8 and 5/6 is 24.
A common denominator is 32.
To compare five-eighths (5/8) and three-fourths (3/4), it's helpful to convert them to a common denominator. The least common denominator for 8 and 4 is 8. Five-eighths is equivalent to 5/8, while three-fourths is equivalent to 6/8. Since 5/8 is less than 6/8, five-eighths is not more than three-fourths.
To subtract fractions, find a common denominator. The common denominator of 6 and 8 is 24. Therefore, five sixths is equivalent to twenty-fours sixths, and five eighths is equivalent to twenty-four eighths. Subtracting twenty-four eighths from twenty-four sixths gives an answer of three twenty-fourths.

The Least Common Denominator of 3/4 and 7/8 is 8.
To subtract fractions, find a common denominator. The common denominator of 6 and 8 is 24. Therefore, five sixths is equivalent to twenty-fours sixths, and five eighths is equivalent to twenty-four eighths. Subtracting twenty-four eighths from twenty-four sixths gives an answer of three twenty-fourths.
To determine which fraction is larger, you can convert them to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator would be 8. Three fourths is equivalent to six eighths, while five eighths remains the same. Therefore, three fourths (or six eighths) is larger than five eighths.
