Question

Find the (LCD) 5/6 and 11/8

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

First we write the first few multiples of 6 (the first denominator) :

6,12,18,24,30

Now we write the first few multiples of 8 (the second denominator) :

8,16,24,32,40

As we can see 24 is the lowest number that appears in both list.

Therefore it is the LCD of 5/6 and 11/8
