The Lowest Common Denominator of two fractions is the LCM (Lowest Common Multiples) of the two denominators.

Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20
Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18
the first multiple they share is the LCM
In this case that would be 12

Therefore your LCD for this problem would be 12

For (4, 3) the least common multiple (LCM) is 12.

Therefore, the least common denominator (LCD) is 12.

Rewriting as equivalent fractions with the LCD:
3/12, 8/12
Hope i helped!
