Question

Choose the fraction that has not been reduced to simplest form.

Answer 1

We are required to choose the fraction that has not been reduced to simplest form

The fraction that has not been reduced to simplest form is 19/38 and 10/18

1. 21 / 34 is in its simplest form

factors of 21 = 1, 7 and 21

factors of 34 = 1, 2, 17 and 34

No common factor of 21 and 34 except 1

2. 15/16

factors of 15 = 1, 3, 5, 15

Factors of 16 = 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16

No common factor of 15 and 16 except 1

3. 19/38

factors of 19 = 1, 19

factors of 38 = 1, 2, 19 and 38

divide both numerator and denominator by 19

So,

19 / 38 = 1/2

4. 10/18

factors of 10 = 1, 2, 5 and 10

factors of 18 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 18

So,

10/18

divide both numerator and denominator by 2

= 5/9
