The common denominator of any two or more whole numbers, such as 3 5 and 9, will always be one (1) because 'common denominator' refers to the denominators of two or more fractions or mixed numbers, not whole numbers. So, a set of whole numbers (x,x) would have to be converted to their fraction equivalents, i.e., x/1, which will always yield a denominator of 1.

8/9, 5/12, 6/7
if you mean for 1/3 and 1/12, then to find common denominators, you just list multiples of the denominators 3 and 12. for 3 :3, 6, 9, 12... for 12:12, 24, 36... 12 is the smallest number in both lists, so it is the least common denominator.
these are all prime numbers so if they are denominators, the least common denominator would be their product. 5x7x9x11 = 3465
2/5 + 1/9 (multiply opposite numerators by opposite denominators and the denominators by each other to get the fractions into a common form) = (2 x 9)/(5 x 9) + (5 x 1)/(5 x 9) complete the multiplications = 18/45 + 5/45 add the two fractions = 23/45 which cannot be reduced further........
