What is the L.C.M and H.C.F of the fractions 6/5,3/5and15/11?
As we know that,
L.C.M of fractions=LCM of numeratorsHCF of denominators
H.C.F of fractions=HCF of numeratorsLCM of denominators
Prime Factorisation
1. L.C.M of the fractions 6/5,3/5and15/11
LCM of numerators
So L.C.M of 6, 3 and 15 = 2 × 3 × 5 = 30
HCF of denominators
And H.C.F of 5, 5 and 11 = 1
L.C.M of fractions=LCM of numeratorsHCF of denominators
Hence L.C.M of 6/5,3/5and15/11=30/1=30
2. H.C.F of the fractions 6/5,3/5and15/11
HCF of numerators
Similarly H.C.F of 6, 3 and 15 = 3
LCM of denominators
And L.C.M of 5, 5 and 11 = 55
H.C.F of fractions=HCF of numeratorsLCM of denominators
Hence H.C.F of 6/5,3/5and15/11=3/55
∴ the L.C.M and H.C.F of the fractions 6/5,3/5and15/11 is 30, 3/55
LCM=30
HCF=3/55
