Question

Reduce the fraction to the lowest term step by step 117 upon 156​

Answer 1

Answer:

.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1  Address the formula, input parameters & values.

Input parameters & values:

The given fraction = 117/156

step 2 Find GCD (Greatest Common Factor) for both numerator & denominator.

The GCF for 117 & 156 is 39

step 3 divide the numerator & denominator by GCD 39 and rewrite the fraction

= (117/39) / (156/39)

= 3/4

Thus, 3/4 is the simplified fraction for 117/156 by using the GCD or HCF method.

Prime Factorization Method :

step 1 Address input parameters & values.

Input parameters & values:

The given fraction = 117/156

step 2 Find prime factors for both numerator & denominator and rewrite the fraction in the form of prime factors

Prime factors for 117 = 3 x 3 x 13

Prime factors for 156 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 13

= (3 x 3 x 13) / (2 x 2 x 3 x 13)

step 3 solve & rewrite the fraction

= ( 3 )/(2 x 2 )

= 3/4

Thus, 3/4 is the simplified fraction for 117/156 by using the prime factorization method.

Answer 2

Given,

$\[\frac{{117}}{{156}}\]$

Solution,

Reduce the fraction in lowest term.

$\[ = \frac{{117}}{{156}}\]$

$\[ = \frac{{3 \times 13 \times 3}}{{3 \times 4 \times 13}}\]$

$\[ = \frac{3}{4}\]$

Hence the lowest term is $\[\frac{3}{4}\]$.
