GCD stands for the Greatest Common Denominator. No it doesn't. GCD is the greatest common divisor, also known as the greatest common factor. The greatest common Denominator dne.
Just use the GCF(greatest common factor
An algorithm is a set of instructions that a computer follows, generally to accomplish one specific task. These tasks can range from sorting a set of numbers to finding the greatest common denominator of two numbers.

Here are some of the first we know of:* Babylonians, 1600 BC - factorization and square roots* Euclid, 300 BC - greatest common divisor (GCD)* Eratosthenes, 200 BC - prime numbers* Liu Hui, 263 AD - systems of linear equationsSee related link.
1) You use the Euclidian algorithm to find the greatest common factor between the numerator and the denominator. 2) You divide numerator and denominator by this greatest common factor. This will give you an equivalent fraction in simplest terms.
Using the Euclidean algorithm
The greatest common divisor (GCD) of two numbers is the largest positive integer that divides both numbers without a remainder. To find the GCD of 2233 and 25193, you can use the Euclidean algorithm. By repeatedly applying the algorithm, you will find that the GCD of 2233 and 25193 is 59.
There can be no greatest common denominator. For supose x is the greatest common denominator. ie 24 divides x and 36 divides x. Then 2x is a common denominator and 2x > x so 2x is a greater common denominator than the greatest common denominator. That contradiction implies that there is no greatest common denominator.
The greatest common denominator is infinite. The least common denominator is 45.
In order to have a greatest common denominator, there has to be two numbers and they both have to be fractions. 60 has no greatest common denominator.
