What is 16/48 reduced to lowest terms

Answer 1

16/48 reduced to lowest terms would be 1/3. Feel free to check by multiplying 1 and 3 by 16.

Answer 2

`(16)/(48)`=
`(8)/(24)`=
`(1)/(3)`
To reduce to the lowest terms, you must find a common factor.

`(16)/(48) has the 2 as a common factor, so you divide each side by 2`=
`(8)/(24)`=
`(1)/(3)` because 8 is a factor for 8, once, and 24, 3 times.
The answer is
`(1)/(3)` reduced to the lowest terms.
