Question

Can 84/100 be simplified

Answer 1

Yes it can. If both numbers are even, they are at least divisible by 2, if they both are divisible by any number they can be simplified. If you divide both sides by 2 you get 42/50, both numbers are still even so they can still be simplified. divide by 2 again = 21/25. That can't be simplified anymore so you have your simplified fraction :)

Answer 2

you would use 4 to simplify it. 4 goes into 84 twenty one times, and 4 goes into 100 twenty five times so your answer will be 21/25. hope this helped.
