Lowest common denominator is the lowest number to which all the fractions can be expanded, so it is the lowest common multiple of all denominators.
Example:
Let's check the following fractions:
12,23,56.
To find the lowest common denominator of the fractions we haveto find the lowest common multoiple of the fractions' denominators:
lcd(12,23,56)=lcm(2,3,6)
To calculate the lcm we have to find the lowest number which can be obtained by multiplying those numbers.
This number is 6 because we can multiply 23 and 32 to get 6.
