About This Calculator
This LCD Calculator (Least Common Denominator / Least Common Multiple) helps you find the smallest common multiple shared by two or more integers. The LCD is computed using the LCM formula: LCM(a, b) = |a × b| ÷ GCD(a, b), extended to multiple numbers.
How to Use
- Enter two or more positive integers (e.g.
6, 8, 12). - It uses the greatest common divisor (GCD) to calculate the LCM step by step.
- Calculation steps are displayed using clear math notation for better understanding.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Least Common Denominator?
It's the smallest number that all input values divide into without remainder. It's also referred to as the Least Common Multiple (LCM).
Is there a difference between LCD and LCM?
In arithmetic, LCD is typically used when referring to the LCM of denominators in fractions. Mathematically, LCD and LCM are the same when working with integers.
How many numbers can I input?
You can input as many integers as you like, as long as there are at least two valid numbers.
