The LCD of two fractions is the same as the LCM of their denominators.
1/3 and 3/8 have a lcd of 24 (8/24 and 9/24)
1/6 is one fraction. You need at least two fractions to find something in common.
Two or more fractions are needed in order to find the LCD
The least common multiple of two or more denominators is known as the least common denominator, or LCD.
Once you find the LCD, convert the fractions to their equivalents and then you can add and/or subtract them correctly.

The least common denominator, or LCD
You need at least two fractions to find an LCD.
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.
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.
1/3 and 3/8 have a lcd of 24 (8/24 and 9/24)
You need at least two fractions to find a common denominator.
The function of the numbers in question. The process is the same. When comparing two whole numbers, we call it the LCM. When comparing two fractions, we call it the LCD.
