There is none because Least Common Denominator (or LCD) refers to the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators of two or more fractions or mixed numbers. Even if you converted your whole numbers (x) to their fraction equivalents (x/1), the LCD would always be 1.

The lowest common denominator of any set of whole numbers is 1
You need at least two things to find something in common between them.
16
Form a common denominator which is usually the lowest common multiple of the denominators or, if this cannot be readily determined, use the product of the denominators. Convert one or more of the fractions into equivalent fractions having the common denominator as the new denominator. 15/16 + 17/32 = 30/32 + 17/32 = 47/32 = 115/32 as a mixed number
The lowest common denominator of any two or more whole numbers, such as 16 and 22, 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.
