Question

Reduce the following fractions into their simplest forms.

$\frac{144}{192}$

Answer 1

Finding the simplest form of the fraction:

HCF of $144$ and $192$ is $48$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{144}{192} \\ =\frac{144÷48}{192÷48}(\mathrm{dividing}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{numerator}\mathrm{and}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{denominator}\mathrm{by}\mathrm{their}\mathrm{HCF}) \\ =\frac{3}{4} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the simplest form of the fraction is $\frac{3}{4}$.
