Question

What is LCM of 36/225, 48/150, 72/65?
​

Answer 1

Concept:

HCF stands for highest common factor. It can be defined as the greatest number that can divide the given numbers

LCM stands for Lowest common multiple. It can be defined as the smallest number which can be divided by the given numbers

LCM of fractions= LCM of numerators / HCF of denominators

Given:

36/225, 48/150, 72/65

Find:

What is LCM of 36/225, 48/150, 72/65?

Solution:

LCM of fractions= LCM of numerators / HCF of denominators

Numerator=36,48,72

LCM of 36,48,72= 144

Denominators=225,150,65

HCF of 225,150,65 =5

LCM of fractions= 144/5

Therefore, the LCM of fractions,36/225, 48/150, 72/65 is 144/5
