Question

How can you simplify $\frac{12}{-18}$ in standard form?

Answer

Here we can simplify $\frac{12}{-18}$ and represent it in it's lowest form or standard form.

Standard form is the simplest form a rational number or a fraction could be represented at.

So let's simplify the given.

12 and (-18) are both divisible by 6, so we will divide '6' from the numerator and the denominator.

⇒ $\dfrac{12\div 6 }{-18\div 6 }$

⇒ $\dfrac{2}{-3}$

According to a rule in rational numbers, we need to make sure the denominator is always positive to obtain the number in the simplest form. But while doing this, we shall make sure we aren't changing the value of the actual number. So we will multiply '1' to the numerator and the denominator now.

⇒ $\dfrac{2\times -1 }{-3\times -1 }$

⇒ $\dfrac{-2}{3}$

$\bf \therefore \dfrac{12}{-18} \ in \ standard \ form\ is \ \dfrac{-2}{3}$
