common multiple
the least common denominator
The least common multiple of two or more denominators is known as the least common denominator, or LCD.
That's the least common denominator or LCD.
Common denominators. These are called "common multiples". For example, multiples of 4 are: 4,8,12,16,20,24 ... . Multiples of 6 are: 6,12,18,24,30,36 ... . The numbers on both lists are the common multiples and they include: 12,24,36, ... . Specifically, the smallest number in any such list of common multiples (12 in this example) is known as the Least (or Lowest) Common Multiple or LCM.

Common denominators are common multiples of two or more denominators.

Those are known as "common multiples". The smallest POSITIVE of these common multiples is called the "least common multiple".
Common denominators are common multiples that are being used as denominators.
A single number cannot have a lowest common denominator because "common" refers to multiples that two or more numbers have in common. You have only one number.
You need at least two denominators to find something in common between them.
This is called the least common denominator.

the least common denominator
This is when two or more fractions have the same denominator (the number on the bottom). You can find a common denominator by trying different multiples of the fractions. I'm also aware that it's the name of a song by Justin Bieber on his new album! :D
That's a common denominator.
