We need a common denominator before we subtract. Both numbers go into 8. 5/8 stays as 5/8 and 1/2 becomes 4/8

Now we can subtract: 5/8 - 4/8
All we have to do is subtract the numerators (5 - 4) and keep the same denominator.

5 - 4 = 1

The answer is <span>1/8.</span>

Write 45/72 in the simplest form
Oliga [24]
Hi! 

In my opinion, the easiest way to solve a problem like this is to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator and then divide both numbers by the GCF. 

So first we need to find the factors of 45 and 72 and find the factor that has the most value that the two numbers both have. 

45: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, and 45

72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

It looks like the GCF is 9. Now we have to divide 45 and 72 by 9. 

45 ÷ 9 = 5

72 ÷ 9 = 8

So the correct answer should be:

\frac{45}{72} =  \frac{5}{8}

Hope this helps :)
