I will like to hear further discussion about common denominators. I feel some of us on tonight’s (07/28/11) call were having trouble with that concept.

Mathematically the example would like this

three fourths (3/4) of the pie plus
one half (1/2) of the pie equals five fourths of a pie which is more than one whole pie.

the common denominator is one fourth (1/4) and that integration makes the solution pop out at you.

Can anybody put up an example of a common denominator in another part of the real world? say Art, Entertainment, or Science?

Can anyone put up an example of a common denominator found in neocheating, such as in career politics, theologies, or other authoritarian rule makers?

I would like to hear from everybody on these puzzle piece identifications, because I am kinda new here.
