Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 24 and 30 equals 6, GCF(24, 30) = 6
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
30/24
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 24 and 30 equals 6, GCF(24, 30) = 6
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
30/24
