	Lowest common denominator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, the lowest common denominator or least common denominator (abbreviated LCD) is the least common multiple of the denominators of a set of vulgar fractions.
		For instance, the LCD of {1/2, 1/4} is 4 because the least common multiple of 2 and 4 is 4.
		When the media is charged with appealing to the "lowest common denominator", it means they targeted the lowest expectations and broadest interests of an audience with a varying range of tastes.
