LCD stands for "least common divisor" which is actually a mistaken term because it would mean the smallest integer that evenly divides every member of a set - that's always 1 !

The two terms that are being confused in LCD are actually

> Least common multiple (LCM), the smallest number that's a multiple of all members of the set

> Greatest common factor (GCF), the largest number that evenly divides every member of the set

4, 7, and 9 do not have any factors in common, so their LCM is simply their product, 252, while their GCF is 1.
