Find the H.C.F of 204, 1190 and 1445?
Correct answer: B. 17
- A. 34
- B. 17
- C. 85
- D. 204
Explanation
Using the Euclidean algorithm, gcd(204, 1190) = gcd(204, 170) = 34, and gcd(34, 1445) = 17. Therefore the HCF of all three numbers is 17. The likely distractor is 34, which divides the first two numbers but does not divide 1445.

About Ratio and Proportion
Ratios compare quantities in the same units, while proportions state that two ratios are equal. Problems cover simplification, division in a given ratio, direct and inverse variation, scale, and missing terms, with attention to the difference between a ratio and a fraction representing part of a whole.
