Question

What is 8 over 40 in simplest form?

Answer 1

It is 1/5 because 8/40 divided by 5 is 1/5

Answer 2

We have

`(8)/(40)`
To simplify it we can divide numerator and denumerator by the same number (the greatest possible is the best)

`(8)/(40)= (8:8)/(40:8) = (1)/(5)` - its the simples form..
