Question

Can anyone help me find the LCD that will eliminate the fractions in the equation, x/2+4/5=9/12

Answer 1

Your individual denominators are 2, 5, and 12.

2 is prime.
5 is prime.
12 factors as 2*2*3

So your LCD will be whatever is the product of 2 times 5 times 6. What is that?

That is not the least one.

What is the product of 2 and 4? I think that answer will be the LCD.
