Question

50 over 8 as a reduced fraction

Answer 1

$\frac{50}{8}$ as a reduced fraction is $\frac{25}{4}$

To figure out this answer we can simply look at our original fraction. $\frac{50}{8}$, and see what the GCF or greatest common factor of the two numbers are.

When we're talking about GCF, we are looking for the largest number that is divisible by every number we are looking at. That being said, what is the largest number that can be divided into both 50 and 8. The number that we find is 2.

Now that we have our GCF, all we have to do is divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2:

$\frac{50}{8}$÷ 2 = $\frac{25}{4}$

If we notice, there is no number that goes into 25 that can also go into 4, so we have our fraction as reduced as possible, or in simplest terms.

So, our final answer is: $\frac{25}{4}$
