The LCD, or Lowest Common Denominator, is the smallest multiple of each of the denominators of a set of fractions. So, assuming that 2, 4 and 5 are denominators of fractions (1/2, 1/4 and 1/5, for example), the LCD would be 20, because 20 is the lowest number that 2, 4 and 5 multiply into. So, your new fractions would be 10/20, 5/20 and 4/20. The purpose of finding the LCD is to allow for multiplying fractions together, or simply comparing them easily.

To find the least common denominator (LCD) of the numbers 98, 36, and 42, we first determine their prime factorizations: 98 = 2 × 7^2 36 = 2^2 × 3^2 42 = 2 × 3 × 7 The LCD is obtained by taking the highest power of each prime number present in the factorizations. This gives us: LCD = 2^2 × 3^2 × 7^2 = 4 × 9 × 49 = 1764. Thus, the LCD of 98, 36, and 42 is 1764.

The LCD for 2 and 7 is 14
LCD(7, 4) = 28

LCD(7, 9, 2) = 126.
LCD(4, 2, 9) = 36

They're all prime numbers; 1 is the lcd * * * * * Sorry about the ignorance that permeates WA. First, they are not all primes, since 4 = 2*2 Also, the above answer refers to the HCF, not the LCD. The correct answer is 84
LCD(3, 5, 4, 2) = 60
