Question

What is 8 over 40 in simplest form?

Answer 1

We have
$\frac{8}{40}$
To simplify it we can divide numerator and denumerator by the same number (the greatest possible is the best)
$\frac{8}{40}= \frac{8:8}{40:8} = \frac{1}{5}$ - its the simples form..

Answer 2

It is 1/5 because 8/40 divided by 5 is 1/5
