i need help finishing a problem please. 26/15 x 20/39 the answer is 8/9 but i can only get to 104/117. what am i doing wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to find out what number can divide 26 and 39

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't think any number can because 26 is even and 39 is odd.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is not a good enough reason. 3 and 24 is odd, even, yet they can be divided by 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i get it! 13?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh man. thanks so much! i was stumped for a while!
