By finding the lowest common multiple of the denominators.
By finding the lowest common multiple of the fractions with different denomiators that need to be added or subtracted
The LCD of 1/4 and 1/6 is 12
You don't normally calculate the lcd of a single number (fraction). You would normally take the lcd of two or more fractions. In that case, ONLY the denominators are relevant to find the lcd.
You can find a common denominator without factoring but it will not be the least such number. That means that you will end up working with numbers that are far larger than they need be. For example, 5/12 + 7/18 Using LCD = 36: 15/36 + 14/36 = 29/36 Without LCD : 90/216 + 84/216 = 174/216 which can then be simplified to 29/36.

The LCD is 9.
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.
It can help by when finding the LCD (Least Common Denominator) you find the least number they have in common then that number is your equivalent fraction.
because.
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.

I was told the Lcd is 4 not 8 is that true
An LCD is a positive integer. But any integer can can be expressed as a fraction : as the same number divided by 1. Or twice the number divided by 2, etc.
I can't tell if you meant to type another number.The LCD of 3/4 and 5/I'll guess 6.The LCD of 3/4 and 5/6 is 12
