Question:

What is the Highest Common Factor of $\frac{7}{16},\frac{21}{32}$ and $\frac{49}{8}$?

Options:

$\frac{7}{64}$

$\frac{147}{32}$

$\frac{147}{8}$

$\frac{7}{32}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{7}{32}$

Explanation:

HCF of fraction = \(\frac{HCF\;of\;numerator}{LCM\; of\;denominator}\)

The given fractions are :   $\frac{7}{16},\frac{21}{32}$ and $\frac{49}{8}$.

LCM of 16, 32, 8 = 32

HCF of 7, 21, 49 = 7

The HCF of  $\frac{7}{16},\frac{21}{32}$ and $\frac{49}{8}$  = \(\frac{7}{32}\)
