Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 2 and 26 equals 2, GCF(2, 26) = 2
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
2/26
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 2 and 26 equals 2, GCF(2, 26) = 2
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
2/26
= 2 ÷ 2/26 ÷ 2
= 1/13
(1 is the only factor common to 1 and 13)Therefore, 2/26
is equal to 1/13
in Simplest Form: 2/26
= 1/13
