Explanation:

To express 4/10 in its lowest terms, we need to simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor.

The greatest common divisor of 4 and 10 is 2. By dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2, we get:

4 ÷ 2 = 2

10 ÷ 2 = 5

Therefore, 4/10 in its lowest terms is 2/5.
