Sagot :

Solution:

Given:

[tex]\frac{1}{12},\frac{11}{8}[/tex]

The least common denominator is the smallest number of all the common multiples of the denominators when 2 or more fractions are given.

The denominators of the two fractions given are 12 and 8.

Hence, the least common denominator is gotten below;

[tex]\begin{gathered} 12=2\times2\times3 \\ 8=2\times2\times2 \\ The\text{ Least Common Denominator}=2\times2\times2\times3 \\ The\text{ Least Common Denominator}=24 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the least common denominator is 24.
