these are denominators that are the same for two different fractions.
Example
2/3 and 3/4
2/3 = 8/12
3/4 = 9/12
8/12 and 9/12 have the same denominator: 12

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.
You have to state the denominators to expect an answer
The greatest common denominator of any set of denominators is infinite.
This is called the least common denominator.
Common Denominator means that the denominators in two (or more) fractions are common, or the same. The common denominator is important because before you can add or subtract fractions, the fractions need to have a common denominator.Sometimes fractions have different denominators, like 2/3 and 3/4. If you want to add or subtract them, they need to have the same denominator. In order to do that, you find a common denominator which is the same thing as a common multiple, only with denominators.
