so factors of 32 (4 x 8) so factors f 36 (4 x 9) therefore A: 8:9

Find the factors of 32 and 36. Now you find the greatest common factor in the two numbers. Now divide both sides by that number and you get your answer. Here is an example. 24:28. Let's list the factors of 24. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24. Now for 28. 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28. It looks like the greatest common factor is 4. Let's divide 24 and 28 by 4. We get 6:7. That is how you simplify ratios.
