उत्तर
To reduce a rational number to its standard form, we divide its numerator and denominator by their HCF.
Explanation:
A rational number is said to be in its standard form when its numerator and denominator have no common factor other than 1.
To achieve this, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their HCF.
This process is called simplifying or reducing to the standard form.
Example:
Reduce `24/36` to standard form.
-
HCF of 24 and 36 is 12.
-
Divide both by 12.
`24/36 = (24 ÷ 12)/(36 ÷ 12) = 2/3`
Hence, the standard form is `2/3`.
