Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 6 and 16 equals 2, GCF(6, 16) = 2
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
6/16
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 6 and 16 equals 2, GCF(6, 16) = 2
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
6/16
= 6 ÷ 2/16 ÷ 2
= 3/8
(1 is the only factor common to 3 and 8)Therefore, 6/16
is equal to 3/8
in Simplest Form: 6/16
