Question:

What is the LCM of the fractions \(\frac{2}{3}\), \(\frac{8}{15}\) and \(\frac{4}{27}\) ?

Options:

\(\frac{8}{3}\)

\(\frac{7}{3}\)

\(\frac{8}{5}\)

\(\frac{8}{31}\)

Correct Answer:

\(\frac{8}{3}\)

Explanation:

LCM of fraction = \(\frac{LCM\;of\;numerator}{HCF\; of\;denominator}\)

The given fractions are :   \(\frac{2}{3}\), \(\frac{8}{15}\) and \(\frac{4}{27}\)

LCM of 2, 8, 4 = 8

HCF of 3,15,27 = 3

The LCM of \(\frac{2}{3}\), \(\frac{8}{15}\) and \(\frac{4}{27}\) is = \(\frac{8}{3}\)
