Question

HCF of 1/2,2/3,3/4,4/5 is

Answer 1

HCF of { 1/2 , 2/3 , 3/4 , 4/5 } = HCF of { 1 , 2, 3 , 4 }/ LCM of { 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 }

HCF of { 1, 2, 3 , 4 , } = common factor of { 1, 2, 3 , 4 } = 1

LCM of { 2 , 3 , 4 , 5} = 4 × 5 × 3 = 60

so, HCF = 1/60 ( answer )

Answer 2

Answer:  H.C.F. of above fraction is $\frac{1}{60}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$\frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{4},\frac{4}{5}$

We need to find the highest common factor of the above fractions.

As we know the formula for it:

$\frac{\text{H.C.F. of numerator}}{\text{L.C.M. of denominator}}\\\\=\frac{H.C.F.\ of\ 1,2,3,4}{L.C.M.\ of\ 2,3,4,5}\\\\=\frac{1}{60}$

Hence, H.C.F. of above fraction is $\frac{1}{60}$
