Question

Real Numbers


Can you find the HCF of 1.2 and 0.12? Justify your answer.
​

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

you should convert both the numbers to whole numbers of the same ratio. Now, find the HCF of 120 and 12. As we multiplied both 1.20 and 0.12 by 100, the HCF(which is now in whole number form) should be divided by 100.
