Question

Find the simplest form of 148/185.

Answer 1

Answer:

Thus, the simplest form of 148/185 is 4/5 or 0.8

Solution:

To express “the fraction in the simplest form”, we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by a common prime factor. Consider the prime number be 37.

Accordingly dividing both “the numerator and denominator” by prime number 37, we get,  

$\begin{array} { c } { \frac { 148 } { 185 } = \frac { 37 } { 37 } } \\\\ { \frac { 148 \times 37 } { 185 \times 37 } = 1 } \\\\ { = \frac { 4 } { 5 } } \end{array}$

Hence, the value of

$\frac { 148 } { 185 } = \frac { 4 } { 5 }$

or

$\frac { 148 } { 185 } = 0.8$

Answer 2

Answer:

Simplest form of $\frac{148}{185}=\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplest form of $\frac{148}{185}$

First find the HCF of 148 and 185

148 = 2×2×37

185 = 5 × 37

HCF of 148 and 185 = 37

Now ,

divide numerator and denominator by 37, we get

= $\frac{\frac{148}{37}}{\frac{185}{37}}$

= $\frac{4}{5}$

[simplest form ]

Therefore,

Simplest form of $\frac{148}{185}=\frac{4}{5}$
