There is none because the Least Common Denominator (or LCD) refers to the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators of two or more fractions or mixed numbers. Even if you converted your whole numbers (x) to their fraction equivalents (x/1), the LCD would always be 1.

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.
When you want to add fractions that have different denominators, you have to convert them into fractions that do have the same denominators. So for example, how much is a half plus a third? Both of these can be converted into sixths, so one half equals three sixths, and one third equals two sixths. Three sixths plus two sixths equals five sixths. That's the answer. If you have three fractions with different denominators, the procedure is the same. Convert all three into fractions with the same denominators, then add them.
2/3 and 3/4 Least Common Denominator is 12
write the first three common. multiples of 3,4,5
The common denominator of 6, 8, and 10 is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of the fractions. To find the LCM, you need to factorize each number into its prime factors: 6 = 2 x 3, 8 = 2 x 2 x 2, and 10 = 2 x 5. The LCM is the product of the highest power of all prime factors present in the numbers, which in this case is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 120. Therefore, the common denominator of 6, 8, and 10 is 120.
