Find (LCD) of 56 and 78 .

I think you really want the HCF   Highest common factor    

 

I'll use the web2 calc to help

 

factor(56) = 2^3*7       =2     *2*2*7

factor(78) = (2*3)*13  = 2      *3*13

 

The only common factor other than one is 2 so 2 is the highest one.

OR, if you meant "LCM", Least Common Multiple, then:

56 = 2^3 * 7

78 = 2 * 3 * 13

=2^3 x 7 x 3 x 13 =2,184.
