Question

Find the LCM of $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

Step1 L.C.M of 2 and 3 $=6$
Now multiply first fraction by $\frac{6}{2}=3$

Multiply second fraction by $\frac{6}{3}=2$

$\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3}{3}=\frac{3}{6}$

$\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{4}{6}$

Now since both denominator are same LCM of numerators 3 and 4 $=12$
Hence L.C.M of $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{12}{6}=2$
