Question

16) Which fraction is 36 84 written in lowest terms? A) 3 8 B) 3 7 C) 6 13 D) 6 14

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

to simplify a fraction, divide numerator/ denominator by the largest common factor, often called cancelling

the largest common factor of 36 and 84 is 12

$\frac{36}{84}$ = $\frac{3}{7}$ ← in simplest form

A fraction is in simplest form ( lowest terms ) when no factor but 1 divides into the numerator/ denominator.
