The lowest common denominator of any two or more whole numbers, such as 12 and 16, 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.
If 12 and 16 are denominators, the LCD is 48
If that's 1/2 and 1/6, the LCD is 6.

What is the greatest common denominator of 12 and 16?
The greatest common denominator is the largest number that is a multiple of the numbers and it is infinite.I think you mean either:The greatest common factor (the largest number which divides the numbers) of 12 and 16 which is 4;orThe lowest common denominator (the smallest number which is divisible by the numbers) of 12 and 16 which is 48.

How do you find the least common denominator of two 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.
