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.
