1/3
3/4
8/9
5/32

For (1 /3) and (8 / 9) it would be 12.
When we include (8 / 9) we need another "3" so the LCD becomes
3 * 12 = 36
When we include (5 / 32), the number 32 = 2^5
In the number 36, we already have 4 as a factor so we have to include three more 2's.
36 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 288
The LCD is 288
