Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 4 and 18 equals 2, GCF(4, 18) = 2
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
4/18
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 4 and 18 equals 2, GCF(4, 18) = 2
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
4/18
= 4 ÷ 2/18 ÷ 2
= 2/9
(1 is the only factor common to 2 and 9)Therefore, 4/18
is equal to 2/9
in Simplest Form: 4/18
