Given :

• Fraction -  16/14

To find :

• the simplest form

Solution :

⇒ Let's first find the common factor of 16 and 14.

• Common factors of 16 and 14 are 2.

⇒ Now, the highest common factor is 2. So, we have to divide it by 2.

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{16 \div 2}{14 \div 2}$

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{8}{7}$

Therefore, the simplest form of 16/14 is 8/7.
