Answer 2

Answer:

1) 10 /9

2) 2 /7

3) 34 /51

Explanation :

1) 40/36

First both can be divided by 2 (40 ÷ 2 = 20 , 36 ÷ 2 = 18)

So , we get 20 /18

Next both can again be divided by 2 (20 ÷ 2 = 10 , 18 ÷ 2 = 9)

So , we get 10/9

These both can't be divided further.

2) 24/84

First both can be divided by 3 ( 24 ÷ 3 = 8 , 84 ÷ 3 = 28 )

So , we get 8 /28

Next both can be divided by 2 ( 8 ÷ 2 = 4 , 28 ÷ 2 = 14 )

So , we get 4 /14

Next both can again be divided by 2 ( 4÷2 = 2 , 14 ÷ 2 = 7)

So , we get 2/7

These both can't be divided further.

3) 34/51

These both don't have any common factor , so it can't be divided further.
