Question

Reduce the fraction 365/20 to its lowest terms.

Answer 1

Answer:

Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator

GCD of 365 and 20 is 5

Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD

365 ÷ 5

20 ÷ 5

Reduced fraction:

73

4

Therefore, 365/20 simplified to lowest terms is 73/4.

Answer 2

In context to questions asked,

We have to reduce the given fraction in its lowest form.

As we know that,

Fraction is said to be its lowest form, when the numerator and denominator are not further divisible.

As per questions,

we have,

fraction = 365/20

As we know that,

If the last digit of the number is either 5 or 0, then the number will be divisible by 5.

So, dividing the numerator and denominator of the fraction by 5.

We will get,

$\frac{365}{20} = \frac{ \frac{365}{5} }{ \frac{20}{5} } = \frac{73}{4}$

As 73 and 4 are not further divisible.

So, we can say that,

Lowest form of the given fraction 365/20 willbe 73/4.
