Question

Given 64 / 108, what common factor would reduce this fraction to its lowest terms?

Answer 1

Common factor of 4
Simplest terms is 16/27

Explanation:

Let's find the factors of both numbers

64:

• 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64

108:

• 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 108

The greatest common factor is 4

The fraction in simplest terms would be
`(64)/(108)*(4)/(4) = (16)/(27) \text{ cross reduce}`
