The lowest common denominator of any two or more whole numbers, such as 24 and 32, 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.

The common denominator of 5/8 and 3/4 is 32.The lowest common denominator (LCD) is 8.The highest common denominator (HCD) is 32.
The LCM is: 96
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
24/32 = 3/4 in its lowest terms
The lowest common factor is 1. (The least common factor of any two or more positive integers is always 1.)
