Hi! Your answer is D explain below!
The factors of a number are <em>all of the positive whole numbers that go into it evenly</em>. For example, 2 is a factor of 6 because 6 ÷ 2 = 3, or equivalently, 6 = 2 x 3. Note that this naturally implies that every whole number has 1 and itself as a factor.
The numbers that go evenly into 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. For 27, those numbers are 1, 3, 9, and 27.
The <em>common factors </em>between two numbers are numbers that go into <em>both </em>numbers evenly. Looking through the lists for 24 and 27, we see that 1 and 3 are their common factors. The <em>greatest</em> common factor is, of course, the largest of these, so the greatest common factor of 24 and 27 is 3.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:Given that the numerator of a given fraction is 4 less than its denominator.
Also given that 3 is subtracted from the numerator and 5 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes one by fourth .
Let the fraction be
Since the numerator of a given fraction is 4 less than its denominator we have,
Numerator=Denominator-4
⇒ a=b-4
Since 3 is subtracted from the numerator and 5 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes one by fourth we have
4(a-3)=1(b+5)
4a-12=b+5
4a-b=17
4(b-4)-b=17 ( ∵ a=b-4)
4b-16-b=17
3b=17+16
3b=33
⇒ b=11
Now put b=11 in a=b-4 we get
a=11-4
⇒ the fraction is a/b=7/11
