Question

What will you get if you reduce 14/35 to the lowest term?

Answer 1

Answer: 2/5

Explanation:

14:7=2

35:7=5

14/35= 2/5

Answer 2

The lowest form of
`(14)/(35)` is
`(2)/(5)`.

Explanation:

The given rational number is
`(14)/(35)`.

At first, we will find the HCF of 14 and 35 and then divide the numerator and denominator by the HCF of 14 and 35 to evaluate the lowest form of
`(14)/(35)`.

The prime factorisation of 14 and 35 is,

14 = 2 × 7

35 = 5 × 7

Since, prime factor '7' is common in the prime factorisation of 14 and 35, so the HCF of 14 and 35 is 7.

`(14)/(35)=((14)/(7) )/((35)/(7))=(2)/(5)`

So, the lowest form of
`(14)/(35)` is
`(2)/(5)`.
