    Alright. One way you can do this is to list multiples of each denominator:

    1/4:

    4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36 ... and so on

    3/7:

    7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 57, 63 ...

    1/11;

    11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88 ...

    Keep going until you see the least common denominator!

    Now an easier way to do this is by multiplying all of the numbers in the denominator then get the factors:

    4*7*11 = 308

    And since those are not divisible by a whole number (besides 4 but 308 won't be divisible by 2*7*11)

    Therefore 308 is the least common denominator.
