Advertisements
Solution
Given rational number is `299/(-161)`
For standard form of given rational number
= `(299 ÷ 23)/(-161 ÷ 23)` ...[∵ HCF of 299 and 61 = 23]
= `13/(-7) = (13 ÷ (-1))/(13 ÷ (-1))` ...[Dividing by (–1) in both numerator and denominator]
= `(-13)/7`
Hence, the standard form of `299/(-161)` is `(-13)/7`.
