Identifying the Least Common Denominator for Efficiency Modeling

A sustainability consultant is evaluating the energy efficiency of a warehouse cooling system. The efficiency ratio is modeled by the rational inequality 13+6x2<3x\frac{1}{3} + \frac{6}{x^2} < \frac{3}{x}, where xx represents the airflow in cubic meters per second. To combine the terms into a single rational expression as part of the solution process, the consultant must first identify the Least Common Denominator (LCD). What is the LCD for the terms in this inequality?
