This math topic concentrates on practicing the skill of finding the lowest common denominator (LCD) to compare two fractions. Specifically, it involves identifying the LCD that allows for the comparison of fractions with different denominators. Each question typically presents a pair of fractions, and the challenge is to determine the smallest denominator common to both. The content is fundamental and forms part of broader exercises on comparing fractions, aimed at enhancing proficiency in managing fractions mathematically.
