Identifying the LCD for Resource Efficiency Formulas

A resource analyst is combining two efficiency formulas into a single model. The resulting expression is: 2a2ab+b2+3a4a2b2\frac{2a}{2ab + b^2} + \frac{3a}{4a^2 - b^2}. To add these rational expressions, the analyst must first determine the Least Common Denominator (LCD). What is the completely factored form of the LCD for this expression?
