calculate the lcm of nemerator
2 = 2
8 =$$2\times 2\times 2$$
4=$$2\times 2$$
Select the common terms
 lcm= $$2\times 2\times 2 =8$$
denominator is calculated by hcf method
3 = $$3$$
6 = $$2\times 3$$
27 =$$3\times 3\times 3$$
select the highest common factor = 3
lcm =Â $$\frac{lcm}{hcf}$$
    $$\frac{8}{3}$$
