Question

Find the HCF of1.2 and 0.12

Answer 1

Answer:

0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

1.2 = 12/10

0.12 = 12/100

HCF of 12/10 and 12/100

= HCF of numerators/LCM of denominators

= HCF of 12, 12/ LCM of 10, 100

= 12/100

= 0.12

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s take two fractions (a/b) and (c/d).

To find LCM and HCF of (a/b) and (c/d) the generalized formula will be:

H.C.F = H.C.F of numerators / L.C.M of denominators

L.C.M = L.C.M of numerators / H.C.F of denominators

so,HCF of (1.2 , 0.12) =HCF of (12/10 , 12/100)=HCF of (12, 12) /LCM of (10, 100)

since=>HCF of (12 , 12) = 12 and LCM of (10 , 100) = 100

so, HCF of (1.2 , 0.12) =12/100 =0.12
