Answer 1

The least common denominator between 4 and 6 is 12.

Explanation:

We have two fractions: They are 3/4 and 1/6

Their denominators are 4 and 6.

We have to find the least common multiple(non-zero) of 4 and 6. So

Multiples of 4: {0, 4, 8, 12, 16, ...}

Multiples of 6: {0, 6, 12, 18, ...}

The smallest number that appears in both lists is 12.

The least common denominator between 4 and 6 is 12.
