Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 8 and 18 equals 2, GCF(8, 18) = 2
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
8/18
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 8 and 18 equals 2, GCF(8, 18) = 2
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
8/18
= 8 ÷ 2/18 ÷ 2
= 4/9
(1 is the only factor common to 4 and 9)Therefore, 8/18
is equal to 4/9
in Simplest Form: 8/18
