Answer: B) 1/4

The greatest common factor of 4 and 16 is 4. This is the largest factor that goes into both numerator and denominator

Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF

4/4 = 1

16/4 = 4

This means 4/16 reduces to 1/4

Thinking in reverse, you can multiply top and bottom of 1/4 by 4 to get 4/16.
