Question

Can 51/54 be simplified

Answer 1

Yes! It can indeed be simplified.

$\\ \\ \frac{51}{54} \\ \\ GCF = 3 \\ \\ 51 \div 3 = 17 \\ \\ 54 \div 3 = 18$

You divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor, and you will receive a new set of each. The new numerator is 17, and the new denominator is 18. Numerator = top, and denominator = bottom, so our new fraction is 17/18! Woo!

Answer 2

We can reduce the fraction by dividing
the numerator and denominator by 3
and get our simplified answer
=51 ÷ 3/54 ÷ 3=17/18
The Answer:
=17/18
