Question

Simplify 198/726 to the lowest term

Answer 1

So to simplify fractions, you have to divide the numerator and denominator by their common GCF, or Greatest Common Factor. You would keep going until the numerator and denominator don't have a GCF greater than 1.

$\frac{198}{726} /\frac{6}{6} =\frac{33}{121} \\ \\ \frac{33}{121} /\frac{11}{11} =\frac{3}{11}$

The simplified fraction is 3/11.
