Is the lowest common denominator (LCD) the same as the least common multiple (LCM)?

The lowest common denominator (LCD) is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators involved.

LCD and LCM have the same value, but they are different concepts.

The LCD and the LCM require the same math process: Finding a common multiple of two (or more) numbers. The only difference between LCD and LCM is that the LCD is the LCM in the denominator of a fraction. So, one could say that least common denominators are a special case of least common multiples.
