  1. LCM and HCF of 0.5 and 0.2
    HCF = 0.1 = 1/10
    LCM = 1
    check : HCF = p*q/LCM
    => 0.1 = 0.5*0.2/1
    => o.1 = 0.1/1
    so, LHS = RHS

    1. HCF of the fractions = HCF of numerators / LCM of denominators
      ==> 1/10
      LCM of the fractions = LCM of numerators / HCF of numerators
      ==> 1/1 = 1

      HCF = 1/10
      LCM = 1
