Question

What is 28/36 in simplest form?

Answer 1

To find the fractions simplest form, we first need to solve for the GCF of the two numbers, 28 & 36. We do this by finding the prime factors.

28=7*2*2

36=3*3*2*2

The numbers have the prime factors of 2*2 in common, therefore the GCF is 4. (2*2=4)

28/4=7 36/4=9


`(28)/(36) divided by 4= (7)/(9)`

Answer=7/9
