Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 8 and 24 equals 8, GCF(8, 24) = 8
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
8/24
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 8 and 24 equals 8, GCF(8, 24) = 8
