Question

12/54 in lowest terms.

Answer 1

GCM of 12 and 54

12: 1 2 3 4 6 12
54: 1 2 3 6 9 18 27 54

Now you find the factor that is the same and biggest between the 2. So the GCM of 12 and 54 is 6.

In which case you use 6 and divide the numerator and denominator of your fraction to get in lowest terms.

12 (divided by 6) = 2
----------------------- ----
54 (divided by 6) = 9

So 12/54 in lowest terms is 2/9.
