Reduce the fraction to the lowest term (4)/(8) ​

Question

Reduce the fraction to the lowest term

`(4)/(8)`
​

Answer 1

`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

To reduce the fraction to the lowest term, we divide the like term by the GCF of its numerator and denominator.

Here,

As 4 and 8 have the GCF as 4 itself. We divide both the numerator and denominator with the GCF (4).

Hence,

`(4)/(8)\\=(4)/(8)/(4)/(4) \\=(4/4)/(8/4) \\=(1)/(2)`

Answer 2

It would be 1/2 sorry if I’m wrong
