Question

GCF/LCM of 8 and 24 the reduce 8/24

Answer 1

• GCF(8, 24) = 8
• LCM(8, 24) = 24
• 8/24 = 1/3

Explanation:

Since 8 is a factor of 24, 8 is the GCF of the pair, and 24 is the LCM of the pair.

The ratio 8/24 is reduced by observing that 24 = 8·3:

8/24 = 8/(8·3) = (8/8)·(1/3)

8/24 = 1/3
