Answer 2

Answer:

Simplest form of $\frac{-55}{22}$ is $\frac{-5}{2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert : given rational number into simplest form

Given : $\frac{-55}{22}$

Solution :

• To convert given rational number into simplest form we find HCF of numerator and denominators of given rational number neglecting negative sign .
• To find HCF of we find prime factors of these numbers.
• Prime factors are :  
• Prime factors of $55$ = $1\times 5\times 11$
• Prime factors of $22= 1\times 2\times 11$
• Hence, HCF of $55$ and $22$ = $11$  
• Now, dividing numerator and denominator by HCF, we get,

          $\frac{-55 \div 11}{22 \div 11}=\frac{-5}{2}$
