template<class Rep1, class Period1, class Rep2, class Period2> struct common_type<chrono::duration<Rep1, Period1>, chrono::duration<Rep2, Period2>> { using type = chrono::duration<common_type_t<Rep1, Rep2>, see below>; };

#
The period of the duration indicated by this specialization of common_­type is the greatest common divisor of Period1 and Period2.
[ Note
:
This can be computed by forming a ratio of the greatest common divisor of Period1​::​num and Period2​::​num and the least common multiple of Period1​::​den and Period2​::​den.

[ Note
:
The typedef name type is a synonym for the duration with the largest tick period possible where both duration arguments will convert to it without requiring a division operation.
The representation of this type is intended to be able to hold any value resulting from this conversion with no truncation error, although floating-point durations may have round-off errors.

template<class Clock, class Duration1, class Duration2> struct common_type<chrono::time_point<Clock, Duration1>, chrono::time_point<Clock, Duration2>> { using type = chrono::time_point<Clock, common_type_t<Duration1, Duration2>>; };

#
The common type of two time_­point types is a time_­point with the same clock as the two types and the common type of their two durations.
