Reduce the Fraction 2/14 to Its Simplest Form: Step-by-Step Solution

Question

Reduce the given fraction into its simplest form:

$\frac{2}{14}=$

00:00 Reduce as much as possible

00:03 Divide by the greatest common factor

00:07 Make sure to divide both numerator and denominator

00:10 Calculate the quotients

00:14 And that's the solution to the question

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 2, therefore:

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

$\frac{1}{7}$
