basically,
x/3-x/5=6
lcm=15
so it will become
2x/15=6
then x will be 45
so the number is 45
x/3-x/5=6
lcm=15
so it will become
2x/15=6
then x will be 45
so the number is 45

Hi ,
Let the number = x
One - fifths of the number = x/5
One - third of the number = x/3
According to the problem given,
x/3 - x/5 = 6
Multiply each term with 15 ,
15x / 3 - 15x / 5 = 6 × 15
5x - 3x = 90
2x = 90
x = 90/2
x = 45
Therefore ,
Required number = x = 45
I hope this helps you.
