Answer:

14

Explanation:

The denominator of 6/7 is 7.

The denominator of 3/2 is 2.

The least common denominator (LCD) of 2 and 7 can be found using prime factorization.

2 = 2¹

7 = 7¹

LCD = 2¹ × 7¹ = 14

Another example: if the denominators were 4 and 6:

4 = 2²

6 = 2¹ × 3¹

LCD = 2² × 3¹ = 12

The least common denominator (or the least common multiple) is the product of each prime number raised to its highest power.
