Answer 1

• 2

Explanation:

24/12

Divide both numerator and denominator by 2

24 ÷ 2 = 12

12 ÷ 2 = 6

Again Divide both numerator and denominator by 2

12 ÷ 2 = 6

6 ÷ 2 = 3

Divide both numerator and denominator by 3

6÷ 3 = 2

3 ÷ 3 = 1

Also If we divide 24 by 12, we get 2.

• Therefore, 24/12 in simplest form is 2
