Pick two of the fractions and find the Least Common Multiple of those two denominators. Then take that number, and find the Least Common Multiple between that and the third denominator. This number will be the Least Common Denominator between the three fractions.If you don't care to find the Least common denominator, then just take the three denominators, and multiply them together.
Suggestion: Find the least common multiple using your favorite method (for example, prime factorization). Then multiply that by 1, by 2, and by 3, to get your answer.
The least common multiple of 9, 36, and 60 is the smallest number that can be divided by each of the three numbers without a remainder. In this case, the answer is 180. (180/60 = 3, 180/36 = 5, and 180/9 = 20)

5,10,15 6,12,18the above is true if you wanted the multiples of the numbers separately. If you were looking for the three first COMMON multiples of the numbers, they are...30, 60, 90.The first (or least common) multiple of two numbers is also equal to the product of the two numbers divided by the greatest common factor of the numbers. Since 5 is prime, and 6 is NOT a multiple of 5, then the greatest common factor is 1. Thus, the least common multiple is 30.To find the second multiple, take the first times 2, for the third, take the first times 3, etc......
