Question

Can we find hcf of 1.6 and 0.16.justify ur answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

yes,

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, 1.6 and 0.16

Converting each of the following decimals into like decimals we get;

1.60 and 0.16

Now, expressing each of the numbers without the decimals as the product of primes we get

160= 2×2×2×2×2×5 =16x10

016= 2x2x2x2=16x1

Now, H.C.F. of 160 and016= 16

Therefore, the H.C.F. of 1.6 and 0.16 = 0.16 (taking 2 decimal places)
