Question

What is 8/32 in simplest form

Answer 1

8/32 in simplest form will be 1/4

Answer 2

In order to reduce or simplify to the lowest terms, you need to first find the GCF (greatest common factor) of the two numbers.

The factors of 8 are:
1, 2, 4, 8

The factors of 32 are:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

The common factors are:

1, 2, 4, 8

The greatest common factor is 8

So now that we have 8 as our GCF, we just divide both our numbers by 8.

8 ÷ 8 = 1

32 ÷ 8 = 4

8/32 = 1/4

Hope this helps. :)
