what is the lcd of 1/2 and 2/3

1/2 = 3/6

2/3 = 4/6

To find the least common denominator (LCD) of fractions, you need to identify the smallest common multiple of the denominators of the fractions involved.

In this case, the denominators are 2 and 3. To find their least common multiple (LCM), you can follow these steps:

1. Write down the multiples of each number until you find a common multiple:
Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, ...
Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, ...

2. Identify the smallest number that appears in both lists. In this case, 6 is the smallest common multiple of 2 and 3.

Therefore, the LCD of 1/2 and 2/3 is 6.
