http://prntscr.com/942rm7 Can someone answer this please? And how would I work it out

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

What is the largest factor that is common to those fractions? |dw:1447840716330:dw|

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Note if we divide by 6 we get \[-\frac{ 156 }{ 396 } = - \frac{ 26 }{ 66 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So false?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks very much!

OpenStudy (mrnood):

if a=b then a/b = 1 so for general case if you divide the 2 fractions (it doesn't matter which is top or bottom) then if the answer is 1 then the fractions are equivalent

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yes, that works to!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

also if n/m= x/y then ny=mx

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

I don't know why I didn't just say that

OpenStudy (amistre64):

just gotta go a complicate the issue ... its the sign of a troubled youth lol
