Simplify the Fraction 7/14: Step-by-Step Reduction

Question

Simplify the given fraction to its simplest form:

$\frac{7}{14}=$

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

00:13 And this is the solution to the question

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:

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

$\frac{1}{2}$
