EXERCISE 7.5
1. Reduce the following fractions to their lowest terms.

(a) 8
10

H.C.F of 8 and 10 = 2
Lowest term = 8 ÷ 2
10 ÷ 2

= 4 Ans
5
(b) 3
9

H.C.F of 3 and 9 = 3
Lowest term = 3 ÷ 3
9÷3

= 1 Ans
3
(c) 12
60

H.C.F of 12 and 60 = 12
Lowest term = 12 ÷ 12
60 ÷ 12

= 1 Ans
5
(d) 36
54

H.C.F of 36 and 54 = 18
Lowest term = 36 ÷ 18
54 ÷ 18
 = 2 Ans
3

2. Reduce the following fractions to their lowest terms, and find the
HCF and LCM of the numerator and denominator.

(a) 6
12

H.C.F of 6 and 12 = 6
Lowest term = 6 ÷ 6
12 ÷ 6

= 1
2
Multiples of 6 = 6,12,18,24
Multiples of 12 = 12, 24, 36
LCM = 12

(b) 9
36

H.C.F of 9 and 36 = 9
Lowest term = 9 ÷ 9
36 ÷ 9

= 1
4
Multiples of 9 = 9, 18, 27, 36
Multiples of 36 = 36, 72, 108
LCM = 36

(c) 7
35

H.C.F of 7 and 35 = 7
Lowest term = 7 ÷ 7
35 ÷ 7

= 1
5
Multiples of 7 = 7, 14, 21, 28, 35
 Multiples of 35 = 35, 70, 105
LCM = 35

(d) 9
45

H.C.F of 9 and 45 = 9
Lowest term = 9 ÷ 9
45 ÷ 9

= 1
5
Multiples of 9 = 9, 18, 27, 36, 45
Multiples of 45 = 45, 90, 135
LCM = 45
