Ex: 3/a + 4/b = 7, LCD is ab
ab x (3/a) + ab x (4/b) = ab x 7
3b + 4a = 7ab so that the denominators have cancelled.
a and b can represent binomials, monomials, polynomials, etc.
EX: 3/(x+2) + 4/(x-5) = 7 multiply by ab = (x+2)(x-5)
The LCD of two fractions is the same as the LCM of their denominators.
If those are both denominators, multiply their fractions by 10/10 to get rid of the decimal points. The LCD of 35 and 14 is 70. Convert them to equivalent fractions with a denominator of 70.
Multiply them together.
If 16 and 19 are denominators, their LCD is 304. If that's 1/6 and 1/9, the LCD is 18.
The LCM of these numbers is 198. (LCD is just the LCM of the denominators of fractions.)
To find an LCD, you need to have at least two denominators.
If you need to simplify a rational expression with two or more terms, you need to find the LCD in order to write the expression as a single fraction. If the denominators have not common factors, then the only way is to multiply each numerator with the all denominators of the other terms. If you have an equation in the proportion form, then cross multiply. If both sides of the equation have more than two rational terms, then work at both sides until you have a proportion, then cross multiply. But I would prefer to multiply each term at both sides by the LCD in order to eliminate the denominators.
No.

I was told the Lcd is 4 not 8 is that true
You can multiply the two denominators, or you can find the least common multiple for the two denominators.
You need at least two denominators to find an LCD.
You need at least two denominators to find an LCD. If that's 4 and 5, the LCD is 20.
Multiply any two denominators together. Their product will be a common denominator of them both.
Because when you compare fractions with the same denominators, you do not have to find the least common denominator (LCM or LCD).
The LCD (Least common denominators) is 24
