Concept:
The HCF can be defined as the highest common factor between the given set of numbers. For fractions,
HCF of fractions = HCF of numerators/LCM of the denominators.
The LCM can be defined as the Least common multiple i.e, the smallest possible multiple of the given set of numbers.
Given:
Three numbers 5/18, 5/22, and 25/36 are given.
Find:
The HCF (Highest common factor) of the given fractions 5/18, 5/22, and 25/36.
Solution:
As HCF of fractions = HCF of numerators/LCM of the denominators.
HCF of (5,5,25) is 5.
LCM of (18,22,36) is (396).
HCF of fractions = 5/396
Hence, the HCF (Highest common factor) of the given fractions 5/18, 5/22, and 25/36 is 5/396.
