You cannot simplify 7/9 because it is already in simiplist form. It is the lowest they can be simplified.

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: In order to write 7/9 in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of 7 and 9.

Since the factors of 7 are 1 and 7 and the factors of 9 are 1, 3, and 9 the greatest common factor of 7 and 9 is 1.

This means that we divide the numerator and denominator by 1.

7 ÷ 1 ≈ 7

9 ÷ 1 ≈ 9

Therefore, 7/9 is already written in lowest terms.
