There is none because the Least Common Denominator (or LCD) is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators of a pair of fractions.

4 and 5 because the lowest number they have in common is 20.
Both of those fractions are in their simplest form, which means they have a GCF of 1. The least common denominator is 20.
The first step it to find a common multiple to the denominators. The least common denominator is preferable because it is small but it is not necessary to find the least one. Next, convert each fraction into an equivalent factor with the common multiple as its denominator. Add together all the numerators and place this over the common denominator. Finally, simplify the answer, if possible.For example1/4 + 1/5 + 1/6Find a common multiple: 4*5*6 = 120 (which is also the LCM).Find equivalent fractions: 1/4 = 30/120, 1/5 = 24/120 and 1/6 = 20/120So 1/4 + 1/5 + 1/6 = (30 + 24 + 20)/120 = 74/120Simplify to 37/60.
The Least (or Lowest) Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers. For example: the LCM of 10 and 4 is 20, because both 10 and 4 go into 20 and 20 is the smallest number both 10 and 4 can go into. To be able to add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator. If the denominators are different then the fractions must first be converted into equivalent fractions with a common denominator; any common denominator can be used, but by using the Least Common Multiple of the denominators as the new denominator it keeps the numbers smaller; this smallest denominator is known as the Least Common Denominator Thus the Least Common Denominator is the Least Common Multiple of the denominators of two (or more) fractions (used when adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators). As the Least Common Multiple is used most often with adding or subtracting fractions, it is often referred to as the Least Common Denominator (because the numbers being considered are usually denominators of fractions).
There is none because the Least Common Denominator (or LCD) is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators of a pair of fractions.
Least common denominator is used for fractions, not integers. Integers can be expressed as fractions, though, by placing them over 1 so if you really meant least common denominator then the answer is 1. If, however, you meant least common multiple, then then answer is 60.
There is none because the Least Common Denominator (or LCD) is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators of a pair of fractions.
the LCD of fractions is the least common multiple. So we are looking for the least common multiple of 16 and 20 which is 20. So the Least common denominator is 80

It is 20
4 and 5 because the lowest number they have in common is 20.
The LCM applies to whole numbers, not fractions. If you're trying to find the least common denominator, it's 12.
You need at least two fractions to find a common denominator.
There is none because the 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.
A common denominator of 20 and 30 is 600. This is NOT the least common denominator, though.
