Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 16 and 20 equals 4, GCF(16, 20) = 4
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
16/20
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 16 and 20 equals 4, GCF(16, 20) = 4
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
16/20
= 16 ÷ 4/20 ÷ 4
= 4/5
(1 is the only factor common to 4 and 5)Therefore, 16/20
is equal to 4/5
in Simplest Form: 16/20
