Question

114 upon 138 reduced to simplest form

Answer 1

Given: 114 / 138

To find: To write this in reduced form

Solution:

• Reduced form: reduction refers to the rewriting of an expression into a simpler form.

• Now we have given the term 114 / 138

• So to reduce this we will divide it by the common factors:

          114 / 138

          = 2 x 57 / 2 x 69

• So cancelling 2, we get :

          57 / 69 = 3 x 19 / 3 x 23

• So cancelling 3, we get :

          19 / 23

• So this is the final reduced form as no common factors are there of 19 and 23.

Answer:

          The reduced form of 114 / 138 is 19 / 23
