Question

How do i rewrite 14/32 to make it the simplist

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{14}{32}$ in its simplest form would be  $\frac{7}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Find\:a\:common\:factor\:of\:}14\mathrm{\:and\:}32\mathrm{\:in\:order\:to\:cancel\:it\:out}\:$ $: 2$

$\mathrm{Factor\:out\:}2\mathrm{\:from\:the\:numerator\:and\:the\:denominator}\\14=2\cdot \:7\mathrm{,\:\quad }32=2\cdot \:16\\=\frac{2\cdot \:7}{2\cdot \:16}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:2\\=\frac{7}{16}$

hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

You would need to divide "14/32" by 2, since 2 in this problem is your "gcf" so:

14 / 2 = 7

32 / 2 = 16

So, it's 7/16.
