Question

I am confuse in reducing to the lowest terms

Answer 1

Answer:

Super easy  like take an example

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Reduce 9/15 to the lowest terms

b) reduce 7/49 to the lowest terms

c) reduce 15/24 to the lowest terms

Now we take a number that can divide both numbers apart from 1 because any number divided by 1 = the number itself like 12 divided by 1 = 12 while a number divided by itself = 1 like 12 divided by 12 = 1

ok 9 and 15 can be divided both be divided by 3 so it becomes 3 / 5

and cant be divided any further since hcf (highest common factor)  so 3/5 is in its lowest terms

7 / 49 can be divided by 7 so it becomes 1/7

and 19/24 cant be divided at all so it is already in lowest terms

or 24/48

24 and 48 can be divided by 3 so it becomes 8/16 8 and 16 can be divided by 8 at max and it becomes 8/16=1/2 so 24/48 lowest term is 1/2
