Answer: 8/25

Step-by-step explanation: To write the fraction 16/50 in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 16 and 50.

Factors of 16 ⇒ 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

Factors of 50 ⇒ 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50

The greatest common factor of 16 and 50 is 2 so we divide the numerator and the denominator of 16/50 by 2 and we get the equivalent fraction 8/25.

Therefore, 16/50 written in lowest terms is 8/25.
