In order to compare fractions with different denominators, we will convert them to like fractions.

LCM of 16 and 15

  2 
 16, 15
  2
  8, 15
  2
  4, 15
  2
  2, 15
  3
  1, 15
  5
  1,  5
 
  1,  1

∴ LCM of 16 and 15 = `2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 3 xx 5` = 240

Now, converting each of the given fractions to an equivalent fractions with denominators 240.

`(11 xx 15)/(16 xx 15) = 165/240` and `(14 xx 16)/(15 xx 16) = 224/240`

Clearly, `244/240 > 165/240`

∴ `11/16 < 14/15`
