Assuming your second fraction is -6/(8x^2), the denominator of the second fraction already includes the first denominator as a factor, so it is the lowest common denominator.

The Least Common Denominator is 8x^2 for the fractions as written.

_____
You can reduce the second fraction to -3/(4x^2), which would make the Least Common Denominator be 4x^2.
