The HCF of 1.75, 5.6 and 7 is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 0.35.

Convert all numbers to fractions or remove decimals

1.75 = 175/100

5.6 = 560/100

7 = 700/100

Now all numbers have the same denominator (100), so = 175, 560, 700

HCF of 175, 560, and 700 ⇒ 5 × 7 = 35

So, HCF of numerators = 35

HCF of fractions = 35 / 100 = 0.35
