To do :

We have to find the LCM of the given pairs of numbers.

Solution :

(a) LCM of 9 and 4 is,

$9=3\times 3$

$4=2\times 2$

LCM of 9 and 4 $= 2\times 2\times 3\times 3$

$= 36$

Therefore, the LCM of 9 and 4 is 36.

(b) LCM of 12 and 5 is,

$12=2\times 2\times3$

$5=1\times 5$

LCM of 12 and 5 $= 2\times 2\times 3\times 5$

$= 60$

Therefore, the LCM of 12 and 5 is 60.

(c) LCM of 6 and 5 is,

$6=2\times3$

$5=1\times 5$

LCM of 6 and 5 $= 2\times3\times 5$

$= 30$

Therefore, the LCM of 6 and 5 is 30.

(d) LCM of 15 and 4 is,

$15=3\times5$

$4=2\times 2$

LCM of 15 and 4 $= 3\times5\times 2\times2$

$= 60$

Therefore, the LCM of 15 and 4 is 60.
