Question

Find HCF of the following fractions

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

• A. $\frac{1}{3}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{1}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\frac{1}{4}$

Given fractions are $\frac{3}{2}$, $\frac{5}{4}$

We know that, HCF of fractions = $\frac{HCFofnumerators}{LCMofdenominators}$

Here numerators are 3, 5 and denominators are 2, 4.

HCF of 3 and 5 = 1

LCM of 2 and 4 = 4

So, HCF of the given fractions = $\frac{1}{4}$
