Give The Lowest Term Of The Following 1. 6/12 2) 5/10 3)12/20 4)9/27 5)21/2

Give the lowest term of the following 1. 6/12 2) 5/10 3)12/20 4)9/27 5)21/2

 

Reduce fractions by getting the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numerator and the denominator. Next, divide the numerator and the denominator by the GCF.

1.) 6/12

Prime Factorization

6 = 2 x 3

12 = 2 x 2 x 3

GCF = 6

6/6 = 1

12/6 = 2

6/12 = 1/2

2. 5/10

Prime Factorization

5 = 5 x 1

10 = 2 x 5

GCF = 5

5/5 = 1

10/5 = 2

5/10 = 1/2
