Question

write 56/20 in simplest form.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Correct Answer is 14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

When the top and bottom can't be any smaller while still being whole numbers, the fraction is in its simplest form.

2/4, for example, can be reduced to 1/2.

Divide the top and bottom integers by the biggest number that divides both numbers exactly to simplify a fraction (they must stay whole numbers).

56/20

Dividing the fraction by 2

= 28/10

Dividing the fraction by 2

= 14/5

Answer 2

Answer:

Simplest form of  $\frac{56}{20}$  is $\frac{14}{5}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert : given fraction into simplest form

Given : $\frac{56}{20}$

Solution :

• To convert given fraction into simplest form we find HCF of numerator and denominators of given fractions.
• To find HCF of we find factors of these numbers.
• Factors of $56= 2\times 2\times 7$
• Factors of $20 = 2\times 2\times 5$
• Hence, HCF of $56$ and $20$ $= 2\times 2$

                                                  $= 4$

• Now, dividing numerator and denominator by HCF, we get,

        $\frac{56 \div 4}{20 \div 4}=\frac{14}{5}$
