Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 7 and 140 equals 7, GCF(7, 140) = 7
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
7/140
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 7 and 140 equals 7, GCF(7, 140) = 7
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
7/140
= 7 ÷ 7/140 ÷ 7
= 1/20
(1 is the only factor common to 1 and 20)Therefore, 7/140
is equal to 1/20
in Simplest Form: 7/140
= 1/20
