What is the least common multiple of ${\frac{1}{x}}$ , $\frac{1}{2x}$ , and $\frac{1}{3x}$ is $\frac{1}{6x}$ ?

The least common multiple of ${\frac{1}{x}}$ , $\frac{1}{2x}$ , and $\frac{1}{3x}$ is $\frac{1}{6x}$ .

$\frac{1}{x}$ = $\frac{6}{6x}$ , $\frac{1}{2x}$ = $\frac{3}{6x}$ , $\frac{1}{3x}$ = $\frac{2}{6x}$ .

$\frac{6}{6x}$ + $\frac{3}{6x}$ + $\frac{2}{6x}$ = $\frac{11}{6x}$

The answer is $\boxed{\left(D\right) \frac{11}{6x}}$ .
