Hey!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

LCD stands for Lowest Common Denominator.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's say we have the equation 1/9 * 16/27

We want to find the LCD of both fractions. To find the LCD of both fractions find a the lowest common denominator in both fractions.

In this equation the lowest common denominator is 27 because 9 can go in 27 and 27 can go into itself. Se basically 27 is the lowest possibly common denominator both fractions can get to.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck ;)
