Answer 2

Answer:

16/28 = 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1) To reduce a fraction to the lowest terms, divide the numerator and denominator by the same number.

$\frac{16}{28}=\frac{16 \div 2}{28 \div 2} \\=\frac{8}{14} \\= \frac{8\div 2}{14\div 2}\\= \frac{4}{7}$

Method 2) To reduce a fraction to the lowest terms, divide the numerator and denominator by GCF.

GCF of 16 and 28 is 4.

So, both numbers divide by 4 we get

$\frac{16}{28}=\frac{16 \div 4}{28 \div 4} \\=\frac{4}{7}$
