About This Quote

The least common denominator is a term used in mathematics, statistics and programming. The least common denominator is the number that has the least amount of units among a set of numbers, or the lowest or least common multiple of two or more numbers. In other words, it is the number that can be divided evenly by any number from a set. If you spend your time with people who are not as smart as you, your mind will adapt to their level and you will become less intelligent, or at least less intelligent than you would otherwise be.
