Step-by-step explanation:
because HCF and LCM of the following fraction
Answer:
given two numbers are
8/15 and 16/125
as we know that HCF and LCM of fractions are given as
HCF = HCF of numerators/LCM of denominators
LCM = LCM of numerators/HCF of denominators
For the HCF :
first find the the HCF of numerator that is 8 and 16
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
° HCF of 8 and 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
and secondly find the LCM of denominator 15 and 125
15 = 3 x 5
125 = 5 x 5 x 5
• LCM of 15 and 125 = 375
therefore , HCF of fraction 8/15 and 16/125 is
= HCF = HCF of numerators/ LCM of denominators
= 8/375
For the LCM :
first find the LCM of numerator that is 8 and 16
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
• LCM of 8 and 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16
and secondly find the HCF of denominator 15 and 125
15= 3 x 5
125 = 5 x 5 x 5
• HCF of 15 and 125 = 5
therefore, LCM of fraction 8/15 and 16/125 is
= LCM = LCM of numerators / HCF of denominators
= 16/5
