Question

Convert $\frac{8}{12}$ to its simplest form.

• A. $\frac{2}{3}$
• B. $\frac{3}{2}$
• C. $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{2}{3}$

Let's rewrite the numerator and the denominator into its factors

$\frac{8}{12}=\frac{2\times 2\times 2}{2\times 2\times 3}=\frac{1\times 2}{1\times 3}=\frac{2}{3}$
So, the simplest form of $\frac{8}{12}$ is $\frac{2}{3}.$
