Let T be a tree with n nodes. Define the lowest common ancestor (LCA) between two nodes

Question:

Let T be a tree with n nodes. Define the lowest common ancestor (LCA) between two nodes v and w as the lowest node in T that has both v and w as descendents (where we allow a node to be a descendent of itself). Given two nodes v and w, describe an efficient algorithm for finding the LCA of v and w. What is the running time of your method?
