Optimizing Financial Ratios

A senior auditor is reviewing a colleague's work on the following resource allocation formula: 13+161213\frac{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}}. The colleague intends to use the 'LCD Method' to simplify the expression. Based on the procedural rules of this method, identify the specific Least Common Denominator (LCD) for this expression and state what this value is intended to 'clear' when it is multiplied across the numerator and denominator.
