☼ Comparison of Fractions : Find the L.C.M. of the denominators of the given fractions. Convert each of the fractions into an equivalent fraction with L.C.M. as the denominator, by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by…
☼ H.C.F. and L.C.M. of Decimal Fractions : In given numbers, make the same number of decimal places by annexing zeros in some numbers, of necessary. Considering these numbers without decimal point, find H.C.F. or L.C.M. of as the…
☼ Co-primes : Two numbers are said to be co-primes (or relatively prime), if their H.C.F. is 1.
e.g. (18, 25) = 1. 18 and 25 are co-primes….
☼ Euclidean Algorithm : Of ‘d’ is the H.C.F. of two positive integers ‘a’ and ‘b’, then there exists unique integers ‘m’ and ‘n’ such that d = am + bn.
