Question

Find the G.C.M. of : 3.20, 0.48 and 15.00.​

Answer 1

Solution:

Given, 1.20 and 22.5

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

1.20 and 22.50

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

120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 23 × 3 × 5

2250 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 × 5 = 2 × 32 × 53

Now, H.C.F. of 120 and 2250 = 2 × 3 × 5 = 30

Therefore, the H.C.F. of 1.20 and 22.5 = 0.30 (taking 2 decimal places)

L.C.M. of 120 and 2250 = 23 × 32 × 53 = 9000

Therefore, L.C.M. of 1.20 and 22.5 = 90.00 (taking 2 decimal places)
