Denominators:  75 and 45

Factor each denominator into its primes:

75 = 3 * 5 * 5

45 = 3 * 3 * 5

The least common denominator is made by multiplying the list of primes needed to make both denominators.

What?

If we have 3 * 3 * 5 * 5, that's enough to make 75 (3 * 5 * 5) and to make 45 (3 * 3 * 5), so the common denominator is 3 * 3 * 5 * 5 = 225.

Answer:  225
