Question

Express -120/144 to it's lowest term

Answer 1

Answer:

Dividing both numerator and denominator by 2, we get

-120/144 = -60/72

= -30/36 (by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2 )

= -15/18 (by dividing numerator and denominator by 2)

= -5/6 (by dividing both numerator and denominator by 3)

Now since 5 and 6 has no common factors other than 1, they cannot be further factorised

so the lowest form is -5/6
