Find the HCF of 0.24 and 0.36 .

Correct option is B

Given:

The numbers are 0.24 and 0.36.

Solution:

0.24 = $$\frac{24}{100}$$​​

0.36 = $$\frac{36}{100}$$​​

Now, find the HCF of 24 and 36:

Prime factorization of 24: 24 = $$2^3 \times 3$$​​

Prime factorization of 36: 36 = $$2^2 \times 3^2$$​​

The common factors are $$2^2 \times 3$$​, so the HCF of 24 and 36 is 12.

Since we multiplied both the original numbers by 100,

the HCF of 0.24 and 0.36 is:

​$$\frac{12}{100} = 0.12$$​​
