\huge\text{Hey there!}


\large\text{SIMPLIFY THE following FRACTION: } \mathsf{(12)/(16)}


\large\text{FINDING the numerator GCF (Greatest Common Factor)}


\large\text{12: 1,2,3,4,6,12}


\large\text{16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16}


\large\text{GCF (Greatest Common Factor): 4}


\large\text{So, we will DIVIDE the numerator and the denominator from 4.}\\\bullet\large\text{Numerator}\rightarrow\large\text{\bf TOP NUMBER}\\\bullet\large\text{Denominator}\rightarrow\large\text{\bf BOTTOM NUMBER}


\mathsf{(12/4)/(16/4)}


\mathsf{12 / 4 = \bf 3}\leftarrow\large\text{NUMERATOR}


\mathsf{16/ 4 = \bf 4}\leftarrow\large\text{DENOMINATOR}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{Answer: }\mathsf{\bf (3)/(4)}}}\huge\checkmark


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