Find the LCM of (2/3,4/9,5/6,7/12)
Lowest common multiple, or smallest common multiple of two integers a and b, usually denoted by lcm(a, b), is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both a and b
Answer: The LCM of (2/3,4/9,5/6,7/12) is 140/3
Let's look into the calculation of LCM of fractions
Explanation:
LCM of fractions = LCM of Numerators / HCF of denominators
LCM (2,4,5,7) = 140
HCF (3,9,6,12) = 3
LCM (2/3,4/9,5/6,7/12) = LCM (2,4,5,7) / HCF (3,9,6,12) = 140 / 3
Thus, LCM (2/3,4/9,5/6,7/12) is 140/3
