Question

express the fraction 24/54 in lowest term

Answer 1

Find common factors for each!

Answer 2

\[\frac{ 24 }{ 54 }\div \frac{ 2 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 12 }{ 27 }\div \frac{ 3 }{ 3 }=\frac{ 4 }{ 9 }\] :o)

Answer 3

Exactly. First you realize that 2 is a common factor of both 24 and 54 so you divide them both by 2. Then you realize that 3 is a common factor of 12 and 27 so you divide them both by 3. Then 4 and 9 have no common factor so you're done.

Answer 4

Then divide by two to get: \[2\div4.5\] and you have your answer. gl ;D
