The lowest common denominator of any two or more whole numbers, such as 12 16 and 18, 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.

However, if you meant 1/2, 1/6 and 1/8, the LCD would be 24.

If those numbers are denominators, the lowest common denominator is 144.
