To reduce any fraction to its simplest form, divide the top and bottom numbers by their greatest common factor.

The greatest common factor of 3 and 48 is 3.

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
of 48 and 3

GCF = 3

We can reduce the fraction by dividing
the numerator and denominator by 3

48 ÷ 33 ÷ 3=161

Dividing 16 by 1 we get

=16
