	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.

		The lowest common multiple of two numbers is the smallest value that divides exactly by both of them, so the lowest common multiple of 6 and 4 is 12.
		If two numbers have no common factors, the lowest common multiple is just the two multiplied together, so the lowest common multiple of 4 and 9 is 36, and the lowest common multiple of ab and xy is abxy.
		If one number divides exactly into another, the lowest common multiple is the larger one, so the lowest common multiple of 3 and 12 is 12, and the lowest common multiple of a and abc is abc.

	Algebra:Further arithmetic - Wikibooks
		Exponents or 'powers' are a process of repeated multiplication, in much the same way that multiplication is a process of repeated addition.
		Notice that the base 3 appears 4 times in the repeated multiplication, because the exponent is 4.
		If the LCM of the numbers is found and 1 is subtracted from the LCM then the remainder when divided by each of the numbers whose LCM is found would be 1 less than the divisor.
