The common denominator of any two or more whole numbers, such as 2 3 4 and 5, 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.
Example: 2/3 and 3/4 The LCD of 3 and 4 is 12. Multiply the numerator and the denominator of 2/3 by 4 to make 8/12 Multiply the numerator and the denominator of 3/4 by 3 to make 9/12
You can use any common multiple of 2 and 4. The easiest (for subsequent calculations) to use is the lowest common multiple, which for 2 and 4 is 4. → 1/2 = 2/4 → 3/4 = 3/4 (it already has 4 in the denominator)
2/3 and 3/4 Least Common Denominator is 12

What would be the ideal Common Denominator for 2 and 4?
The least common denominator for 3/4 and 2/3 is 12 3/4 = 9/12 and 2/3 = 8/12

A common denominator, though not the least one, is 120.

The LCD for 3/4 and 1/2 is 4.
2/3 + 3/4 The LCM of 3 and 4 is 12. The least common denominator is 12. 2/3 = 8/12 3/4 = 9/12
