Standardizing the Clearing Fractions Procedure

A facility manager is standardizing a calculation process for energy resource allocation that involves the equation 16y13=56\frac{1}{6}y - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{6}. To ensure all technicians can simplify the math efficiently, write a brief technical description of the 'clearing fractions' method for this specific equation. Your response must state the Least Common Denominator (LCD) used to clear the fractions and describe the step-by-step process of applying it to each term to reach a fraction-free equation.
