Question

If both the numerator and denominator of 48/64 are divided by 8, the fraction will be in lowest terms. NEED THIS ASAP PLEASE.

Answer 1

The answer for this problem will be 6/8

Answer 2

No dividing the numerator and denominator by the highest common factor of 48 and 64 gives the fraction in simplest form, that is no other factor but 1 divides into the numerator/ denominator

`(48)/(64)` =
`(6)/(8)` when numerator/ denominator are divided by 8

However, dividing numerator/ denominator further by 2 will give simplest form

that is
`(6)/(8)` =
`(3)/(4)` in simplest form

dividing numerator/ denominator by 16 , the highest common factor would have given the fraction in simplest form.
