How can i simplify 176 over 14.?

anonymous · Answer

And can you draw it out for me

jigglypuff314 · Answer

well both  176  and  14  can be divided by 2  right?

so   176/2 = 88
and  14/2 = 7

therefore  fraction  176 over 14 = 88 over 7

If you are reducing a fraction such as $$\frac{176}{14}$$and you get to the point where either the numerator or the denominator is a prime number (such as 7), which has no factors besides 1 and itself, you are done.  

You are also done if the numerator and denominator have no factors in common, even though they may have factors.  For example, $$\frac{25}{9} = \frac{5*5}{3*3}$$Both 25 and 9 have factors, but they have no factors in common, so you cannot reduce the fraction.
