Reduce to lowest form using HCF
Given:
The fraction = 295/565
Concept:
Factorize the given numbers, then, divide both the numbers by HCF to get the lowest fraction term
HCF = Highest common factor of any 2 or more numbers (Number which can completely divide the given numbers)
Solution:
295 = 5 × 59
565 = 5 × 113
=> HCF = 32 × 5 × 7 = 315
Now, Divide the numerator and denominator of the given fraction by 5
∴ 295/565 = (59/113)
Hence , the correct option is (a).
