The greatest common denominator of any set of denominators is infinite.

30 is the largest common denominator of 60 and 330.
The least common denominator of 5 and 6 is 30.
When you add fractions that have unlike denominators, the first step is to convert them so they are expressed as fractions using the least common denominator. The result is that the answer will have a different denominator, or it may use one of the original two denominators.For example if you are adding 1/10 and 3/5, the least common denominator is 10, the problem is rewritten as 1/10 + 6/10 = 7/10But if you are adding 1/5 and 1/6, the least common denominator is 30 and the problem is rewritten as 6/30 + 5/30 = 11/30
