Question

Simplify the following fraction: 12/16

Answer 1

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\large\text{SIMPLIFY THE following FRACTION: } \mathsf{\dfrac{12}{16}}$

$\large\text{FINDING the numerator GCF (Greatest Common Factor)}$

$\large\text{12: 1,2,3,4,6,12}$

$\large\text{16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16}$

$\large\text{GCF (Greatest Common Factor): 4}$

$\large\text{So, we will DIVIDE the numerator and the denominator from 4.}\\\bullet\large\text{Numerator}\rightarrow\large\text{\bf TOP NUMBER}\\\bullet\large\text{Denominator}\rightarrow\large\text{\bf BOTTOM NUMBER}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{12\div4}{16\div4}}$

$\mathsf{12 \div 4 = \bf 3}\leftarrow\large\text{NUMERATOR}$

$\mathsf{16\div 4 = \bf 4}\leftarrow\large\text{DENOMINATOR}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{Answer: }\mathsf{\bf \dfrac{3}{4}}}}\huge\checkmark$
