Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 18 and 20 equals 2, GCF(18, 20) = 2
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
18/20
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 18 and 20 equals 2, GCF(18, 20) = 2
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
18/20
= 18 ÷ 2/20 ÷ 2
= 9/10
(1 is the only factor common to 9 and 10)Therefore, 18/20
is equal to 9/10
in Simplest Form: 18/20
= 9/10
