	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.
		Likewise the LCD of {1/2, 1/3} is 6.

	SparkNotes: Fractions: Reducing Fractions and the Least Common Denominator
		A common denominator of two numbers is a number that can be divided by the denominators of both numbers.
		For example, 1/6 and 4/9 have common denominators of 18, 36, 54, 72, etc. The least common denominator, or LCD, is the lowest number that can be divided by the denominators of both numbers.
		The least common denominator of two fractions is the least common multiple of their denominators.
