Answer:
GCD Method :
step 1 Address the formula, input parameters & values.
Input parameters & values:
The given fraction = 432/60
step 2 Find GCD (Greatest Common Factor) for both numerator & denominator.
The GCF for 432 & 60 is 12
step 3 divide the numerator & denominator by GCD 12 and rewrite the fraction
= (432/12) / (60/12)
= 36/5
Thus, 36/5 is the simplified fraction for 432/60 by using the GCD or HCF method.
Prime Factorization Method :
step 1 Address input parameters & values.
Input parameters & values:
The given fraction = 432/60
step 2 Find prime factors for both numerator & denominator and rewrite the fraction in the form of prime factors
Prime factors for 432 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3
Prime factors for 60 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
= (2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3) / (2 x 2 x 3 x 5)
step 3 solve & rewrite the fraction
= ( 2 x 2 x 3 x 3)/( 5)
= 36/5
Thus, 36/5 is the simplified fraction for 432/60 by using the prime factorization method.
