Answer:

24

Explanation:

For the least common denominator, we have to find the smallest number that all fo them multiply to.

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30

8, 16, 24, 32

i think we can see something

24 is the most common number between them all, so the fractions will be

12/24 (1/2), 16/24 (2/3), and 9/24 (3/8)
