That's the least common denominator.
It is a common denominator: useful for adding or subtracting fractions.

That's the least common denominator.
The least common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions.
Common denominators are common multiples of two or more denominators.

They are essentially the same. A common denominator is the common multiple of a set of denominators of a set of fractions.
Common denominators are common multiples that are being used as denominators.
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator.

A shared multiple of the denominators of several fractions.
