The given fractions are:


(5)/(6x^7y^4),(5)/(3x^6y^3)

It is required to find the least common denominator (LCD).

Recall that the least common denominator (LCD) is the smallest term that can be a common denominator for a set of fractions.

To find the LCD, find the least common multiple of the expressions in the denominators:


\begin{gathered} 6x^7y^4,3x^6y^3 \\ \text{ Take the LCM of the numbers and then the higher powers of the variables:} \\ LCD=6x^7y^4 \end{gathered}
