This seems to be Spanish mínimo denominador común meaning minimum common denominator; or, more commonly in English, lowest (or least) common denominator.

 

prime factors of 75 are: 3, 52

prime factors of 84 are: 22, 3, 7

 

Take the highest of each that occurs in both sets, namely:  22, 3, 52, 7 and multiply them all together to get:

$${{\mathtt{2}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{3}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{5}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{7}} = {\mathtt{2\,100}}$$

 So m.d.c(75, 84) = 2100
