Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 8 and 20 equals 4, GCF(8, 20) = 4
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
8/20
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 8 and 20 equals 4, GCF(8, 20) = 4
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
8/20
= 8 ÷ 4/20 ÷ 4
= 2/5
(1 is the only factor common to 2 and 5)Therefore, 8/20
is equal to 2/5
in Simplest Form: 8/20
