Accepted Answer

Hello. Today we're going to be simplifying the given fraction. So what we are given is 6/24. And in order to simplify this, we want to go ahead and divide the numerator and denominator by a common factor between six and 24. While six and 24 both have a common factor of six. So if you divide both the numerator and denominator by six, what this gives you is 1/4. Now when you have this fraction you want to go ahead and ask yourself again, is there a common factor between one and four? That can divide both the numerator and denominator by to reduce this and the answer to that is going to be know as one in four. Don't have any common factors in total. So with that being said, this is going to be the simplest form of the given fraction and that means that the solution to this problem is going to be be so I hope this video helps you in understanding how to simplify a fraction and I'll go ahead and see you all in the next video
