Answers
Answer:
GCD Method :
step 1 Address the formula, input parameters & values.
Input parameters & values:
The given fraction = 111/259
step 2 Find GCD (Greatest Common Factor) for both numerator & denominator.
The GCF for 111 & 259 is 37
step 3 divide the numerator & denominator by GCD 37 and rewrite the fraction
= (111/37) / (259/37)
= 3/7
Thus, 3/7 is the simplified fraction for 111/259 by using the GCD or HCF method.
Prime Factorization Method :
step 1 Address input parameters & values.
Input parameters & values:
The given fraction = 111/259
step 2 Find prime factors for both numerator & denominator and rewrite the fraction in the form of prime factors
Prime factors for 111 = 3 x 37
Prime factors for 259 = 7 x 37
= (3 x 37) / (7 x 37)
step 3 solve & rewrite the fraction
= (3 )/(7 )
= 3/7
Thus, 3/7 is the simplified fraction for 111/259 by using the prime factorization method.
