Internal Training: Documenting Rational Expression Simplification

As a Process Documentation Specialist for a logistics company, you are updating the internal training manual for the data analytics team. You need to provide a written explanation of the standard procedure for simplifying the following performance metric formula using the Least Common Denominator (LCD) method:

4m27m+123m32m4\frac{\frac{4}{m^2-7m+12}}{\frac{3}{m-3}-\frac{2}{m-4}}

Recall the specific steps of the LCD method as applied to this expression. In your response, clearly state the factored form of the trinomial, the specific LCD used to clear the fractions, and a description of the final steps taken to arrive at the simplified result. Ensure you provide the final simplified expression as part of your conclusion.
