Question

Reduce the following fractions to the simplest form:

$\frac{12}{27}$

Answer 1

To reduce the following fraction to the simplest form, we are using the prime factorization method

$\frac{12}{27}$$=$$\frac{2\times 2\times 3}{3\times 3\times 3}=\frac{2\times 2}{3\times 3}=\frac{4}{9}$

Hence,$\frac{4}{9}$ is the simplest form of the $\frac{12}{27}$.
