Question

In a fraction, how would you use the HCF of the numerator and denominator to reduce it to its lowest form? Show with an example​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two methods to reduce a given fraction to its simplest form, viz., H.C.F. Method and Prime Factorization Method. Find the H.C.F. of the numerator and denominator of the given fraction. In order to reduce a fraction to its lowest terms, we divide its numerator and denominator by their HCF.
