$\bf \cfrac{2}{3n}\qquad \cfrac{7}{3}\ \quad \
\textit{a value or expression that can be divided by both}\ \quad \
\cfrac{{\color{blue}{ \cancel{3n}}}}{\cancel{3n}}\implies 1\qquad \qquad \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ \cancel{3}n}}}{\cancel{3}}\implies n$

im confused...

jdoe0001 · Answer

hmm ok... do you know what an LCD is?

anonymous · Answer

my choices are 14, 3, 3n, and 9n. and yes, the LCD is the least common denominator. @jdoe0001

jdoe0001 · Answer

least common denominator   <--- what does that mean?

anonymous · Answer

the smallest number that two or more denominators can go into.

jdoe0001 · Answer

right

jdoe0001 · Answer

well, in this case, you also have an "n" in the denominator...
so it'd be the smallest expression 

$\bf \cfrac{2}{3n}\qquad \cfrac{7}{3}\ \quad \
\textit{a value or expression that can be divided by both}\ \quad \
\cfrac{{\color{blue}{ \cancel{3n}}}}{\cancel{3n}}\implies 1\qquad \qquad \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ \cancel{3}n}}}{\cancel{3}}\implies n$

see it?

anonymous · Answer

kind of..... i just dont know what to do next

jdoe0001 · Answer

$\bf \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ \cancel{3n}}}}{\cancel{3n}}\ or \ 3n\div3n\implies 1\qquad \qquad \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ \cancel{3}n}}}{\cancel{3}}\ or \ 3n\div3\implies n$

anonymous · Answer

so it would be 3n?

anonymous · Answer

or just 3?

jdoe0001 · Answer

3n is the dividend, it can be divided by 3 and 3n
