We spent so much time together that I can remember us being in our teens and our dad saying we should try to find some other friends because he thought we were our own lowest common denominator when we got together.

Lowest common denominator is a math term referring to the least common multiple in the denominators (lower numbers) in a set of fractions. The term can also be used figuratively, as it is in the sentence you provided. In that case, it refers to the "lowest" (usually meaning least desirable, or least advanced) things they have in common. So the two friends are accused by the father as always sinking to the lowest levels that they have in common.

It means to find something you have in common.

Basically, it is a slam. You deal with rather base and crude people and you should broaden your circle of friends
