Answer:


(7)/(24)

Explanation:

To factor an integer, we need to repeatedly divide it by the ascending sequence of primes (2, 3, 5...).

The number of times that each prime divides the original integer becomes its exponent in the final result. In our example, Prime number
2^3=8


(3*7)/(2^3*3^2)

We need to perform a multiplication. The following rule is applied:


(A)/(B)*(C)/(D)=(AC)/(BD)

In our example, the factors in the new numerator are 3,7

The factors in the new denominator are
2^3, 3^2
