Question

Simplify the given fraction to its simplest form:

$\frac{9}{36}=$

00:05 Let's simplify the fraction as much as we can.

00:08 Find the greatest common factor, then divide by it.

00:12 Remember, divide both the top number and the bottom number.

00:16 Now, calculate the results.

00:19 And there you have it! That's the solution!

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 9, therefore:

$\frac{9:9}{36:9}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{1}{4}$
