  2. Lowest common denominator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_common_denominator

    In mathematics, the lowest common denominator or least common denominator (abbreviated LCD) is the lowest common multiple of the denominators of a set of fractions. It simplifies adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions.

  3. Least common multiple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple

    The least common multiple of the denominators of two fractions is the "lowest common denominator" (lcd), and can be used for adding, subtracting or comparing the fractions. The least common multiple of more than two integers a , b , c , . . . , usually denoted by lcm( a , b , c , . . .) , is defined as the smallest positive integer that is ...

  9. Periodic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_function

    For set representing all notes of a major triad: [1 5 ⁄ 4 3 ⁄ 2] the LCD is 4 therefore T = 4 ⁄ f. For set representing all notes of a minor triad: [1 6 ⁄ 5 3 ⁄ 2] the LCD is 10 therefore T = 10 ⁄ f. If no least common denominator exists, for instance if one of the above elements were irrational, then the wave would not be periodic. [4]
