Given:

Number = 2:4

To find:

The ratio or the simplest form of a given number =?

Solution:

The given number is written in ratio but it is not its simplest form.

Ratios are always written in their simplest form.

Therefore to convert the given ratio into its simplest form we need to first convert it into the fraction for its division.

Step 1: Convert to fraction

=> 2:4 = $\frac{2}{4}$

Step 2: Divide the fraction

=> $\frac{2}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ ( Because numerator and denominator both are divisible by 2)

Step 3: Convert the fraction into a ratio

=> $\frac{1}{2}$  = 1:2

Hence, the ratio of a given number in its simplest form is 1:2.
