Expert Answer
Converting 0.48, 0.72 and 0.108 into like decimals, we get
0.480, 0.720 and 0.108
Now, expressing these numbers without decimals as the product of primes,
Now, HCF of 480, 720 and 108 = 22 x 3 = 12
Thus, HCF of 0.48, 0.72 and 0.108 = 0.012 (taking 3 decimal places)
LCM of 480, 720 and 108 = 25 x 33 x 5 = 4320
Thus, LCM of 0.48, 0.72 and 0.108 = 4.32 (taking 3 decimal places)
