How to Solve for Least Common Denominator (LCD) of A Series of Numbers

Question
Can you show me a step by step example of how you find the LCD of 24, 30, and 60?


Solution
First, let us define what LCD means.

LCD or least common denominator is the lest common multiple of a set of numbers whethe they be fractions or whole numbers. It is also called the lowest common denominator.

To solve the problem ...

First, take the multiples for each of the numbers.
For 24 = 24, 48, .... 120
For 30 = 30, 60 .... 120
For 60 = 60, 120, 180

Therefore, the LCD of 24, 30 and 60 IS 120.
