Question

Convert $\frac{38}{14}$ in it's lowest form.

• A. $\frac{13}{6}$
• B. $\frac{19}{7}$
• C. $\frac{38}{14}$
• D. $\frac{19}{14}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{19}{7}$

To convert the given fraction in it's lowest form, we will follow the following steps:-

Step 1: Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2, we get

$\frac{\frac{38}{2}}{\frac{14}{2}}$ = $\frac{19}{7}$.

Step2: Now we will try to divide by 2 again. We can see 19 is not divisible by 2. We check for 3, 5, and so on and finally we find the fraction obtained in step 1 is in the simplest form.
