From this aritcle we know that,

From this aritcle we know that,

LCM (a/b, c/d) = LCM(a,c)/HCF(b,d)

LCM (a/b, c/d) = LCM(a,c)/HCF(b,d)

Step 3

Step 3

Therefore,
LCM (1/3, 1/2) = LCM(1, 1)/HCF(3, 2)

Therefore,
LCM (5/2, 3/4) = LCM(5, 3)/HCF(2, 4)

LCM (1/3, 1/2) = 1/1

LCM (1/3, 1/2) = 1

LCM (5/2, 3/4) = 15/2

LCM (5/2, 3/4) = 15/2

Step 2

From this aritcle we know that,

LCM (a/b, c/d) = LCM(a,c)/HCF(b,d)

From this aritcle we know that,

LCM (a/b, c/d) = LCM(a,c)/HCF(b,d)

Step 3

Step 3

Therefore,

Therefore,

LCM (3/2, 3/4) = LCM(3, 3)/HCF(2, 4)

LCM (3/2, 3/4) = 3/2
LCM (3/2, 3/4) = 3/2

LCM (3/4, 1/2) = LCM(3, 1)/HCF(4, 2)

LCM (3/4, 1/2) = 3/2
LCM (3/4, 1/2) = 3/2

Step 3

Therefore,

Therefore,

LCM (5/2, 3/4) = LCM(5, 3)/HCF(2, 4)

LCM (5/2, 3/4) = 15/2
LCM (5/2, 3/4) = 15/2

LCM (1/2, 1/3) = LCM(1, 1)/HCF(2, 3)

LCM (1/2, 1/3) = 1/1

Step 3

Step 3

Therefore,
LCM (1/4, 3/5) = LCM(1, 3)/HCF(4, 5)

Therefore,

LCM (1/4, 3/5) = 3/1

LCM (1/4, 3/5) = 3

LCM (1/2, 3/4) = 3/2

LCM (1/2, 3/4) = 3/2
