Note that the lowest common multiple (LCM) is also called the lowest common denominator (LCD). You can find the LCM for and by listing all the multiples for 2 and 8. Then you select the lowest number that is the same for both numbers.

If we look at the multiples of 2 and 8, we'll find that both 2 and 8 can be divided evenly by 2. So 2 is the lowest common denominator. We multiply the 1/2 by 4/4 to get 4/8. We can now add 4/8 and 3/8 together to get 7/8.
