78/780

Divide both numbers by 78 because that is the greatest common fator of both numbers.

78/78=1

780/78=10

It reduces to 1/10

Answer:

1 / 10

Explanation:

To reduce 78 / 780, take the greatest common factor for both the numbers 78 and 780 and divide them by the greatest common factor.

For the two given numbers, our greatest common factor will be 78 so we will divide 78 and 780 by 78 to get:

78 / 78 = 1; and

780 / 78 = 10

Therefore 78 / 780 reduces to a minimum value of 1 / 10.
