Question

How do I find the simplest form of `8/54?`

Answer 1

`1/3` and `4/27`

Explanation:

To find the simplest form, check if the numerator and denominator can be divided by the same number, which is the common factor.

In `4/12`, we see the common factor is 4, so you want to divide both numerator and denominator by 4

`(4div4)/(12div4)=1/3`

In `8/54` we see they have a common factor of 2, so divide both numerator and denominator by 2

`(8div2)/(54div2)=4/27`
