Reduce and Expand Simple Fractions: Reduce

Let's simplify as follows, we'll divide both the numerator by 2 and the denominator by 2:

$\frac{16:2}{8:2}=\frac{8}{4}$

Let's reduce as follows, we'll divide both the numerator and denominator by 1:

$\frac{1:1}{1:1}=\frac{1}{1}$

Let's simplify as follows, we'll divide both the numerator by 2 and the denominator by 2:

$\frac{2:2}{10:2}=\frac{1}{5}$

We will reduce in the following way, divide the numerator by 4 and the denominator by 4:

$\frac{4:4}{16:4}=\frac{1}{4}$

Let's reduce as follows, divide the numerator by 4 and the denominator by 4:

$\frac{12:4}{4:4}=\frac{3}{1}$

First look at the denominator of the fraction. We must try to find a number that, when divided by 50, gives us a result of 25.

Therefore:

$\frac{20:2}{50:2}=\frac{10}{25}$

Let's look at the denominator of the fraction. We'll try to find a number that, when divided by 40, gives us a result of 10.

Therefore:

$\frac{20:4}{40:4}=\frac{5}{10}$

Let's look at the denominator of the fraction. We'll try to find a number that, when divided by 36, gives us a result of 18.

Therefore:

$\frac{16:2}{36:2}=\frac{8}{18}$

Let's look at the denominator of the fraction. We'll try to find a number that, when divided by 50, gives us a result of 5:

$\frac{20:10}{50:10}=\frac{2}{5}$

Let's look at the denominator of the fraction. We'll try to find a number that, when divided by 50, gives us a result of 10.

Therefore:

$\frac{20:5}{50:5}=\frac{4}{10}$

First look at the denominator of the fraction. Try to find a number that, when divided by 16, gives you a result of 4:

$\frac{8:4}{16:4}=\frac{2}{4}$

Let's look at the denominator of the fraction. We'll try to find a number that, when divided by 36, gives us a result of 12.

Therefore:

$\frac{18:3}{36:3}=\frac{6}{12}$

Let's look at the denominator of the fraction. We'll try to find a number that, when divided by 24, gives us a result of 4:

$\frac{6:6}{24:6}=\frac{1}{4}$

Let's look at the denominator of the fraction. We'll try to find a number that, when divided by 36, gives us a result of 9.

Therefore:

$\frac{16:4}{36:4}=\frac{4}{9}$

We need to identify the highest common factor (HCF): The largest number that both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by.

In this case, the number is 5, therefore:

$\frac{5:5}{10:5}=\frac{1}{2}$

Let's look at the denominator of the fraction. We'll try to find a number that, when divided by 36, gives us a result of 6:

$\frac{18:6}{36:6}=\frac{3}{6}$

Let's find the highest number that divides both the numerator and the denominator.

In this case, that number is 1, so:

$\frac{1:1}{15:1}=\frac{1}{15}$

Therefore, it cannot be simplified further

We must identify the highest common factor (HCF): The largest number that both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by.

In this case, the number is 7, therefore:

$\frac{7:7}{14:7}=\frac{1}{2}$

We must identify the highest common factor (HCF): The largest number that both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by. In this case, the number is 3, therefore:

$\frac{6:3}{15:3}=\frac{2}{5}$

We must identify the highest common factor (HCF): The largest number that both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by.

In this case, the number is 4, therefore:

$\frac{8:4}{12:4}=\frac{2}{3}$
