Question

Can somebody help me with how to answer this question? I want to know how I can solve it basically. "Write 210 and 252 as products of prime numbers. Then reduce 210/252.

I might know, but I just want to make sure.
Thanks so so much

Answer 1

5/6

Explanation:

Write the prime factorization:

210 = 2×3×5×7

252 = 2²×3²×7

Therefore:

210/252

= (2×3×5×7) / (2²×3²×7)

= (5) / (2×3)

= 5/6
