Answer:

Find GCD (Greatest Common Factor) for both numerator & denominator.

The GCF for 34 & 78 is 2

step 3 divide the numerator & denominator by GCD 2 and rewrite the fraction

= (34/2) / (78/2)

= 17/39

Thus, 17/39 is the simplified fraction for 34/78 by using the GCD or HCF method

Divide both numbers by 2:

34/2 = 17

78/2 = 39

34/78 = 17/39
