Question

Reduce the following fractions into their simplest forms.

$\frac{35}{49}$

Answer 1

Finding the simplest form of the fraction:

HCF of $35$ and $49$ is $7$.

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{35}{49} \\ =\frac{35÷7}{49÷7}(\mathrm{dividing}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{numerator}\mathrm{and}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{denominator}\mathrm{by}\mathrm{their}\mathrm{HCF}) \\ =\frac{5}{7} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the simplest form of the fraction is $\frac{5}{7}$.
