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.

What would be the ideal Common Denominator for 2 and 4?
There is none because the Least Common Denominator (or LCD) is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators of a pair of fractions.
To find the least common denominator, list the multiples of each denominator. The lowest one they have in common is the LCD.For example:2/3 and 3/4:The multiples of 3 are: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 24...The multiples of 4 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24...The common multiples are 12 and 24. Since 12 is the least, it is the LCM.
