\huge\text{Hey there!}


\large\text{In order for you to REDUCE the FRACTION you will have to}\\\large\text{DIVIDE the NUMERATOR from the DENOMINATOR by the}\\\large\text{GCF, and it should SIMPLIFIED to the RESULT}


\large\text{Finding your GCF (Greatest Common Factor) }\downarrow\\\large\text{21: 1, 3, \bf{7}, }\large\text{\& 21}\\\\\large\text{1, 2, 4, \bf{7}}\large\text{, 14, \& 28}\\\\\\\large\text{GCF: 7}


\large\text{So, lets DIVIDE both your numerator and denominator by 7.}


\bold{Equation: (21/7)/(28/7)}\\\\\bold{21/7=3\leftarrow NUMERATOR}\\\bold{= (3)/(4)}\\\\\bold{28/7=4\leftarrow DENOMINATOR}\\\\\\\boxed{{\mathsf{(21)/(28)= (3)/(4)}}}


\\\\\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{\bf{ANSWER: }}\bold{(3)/(4)}}}\huge\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
