Question

What is the lowest term in $\frac{64}{32}$?

Answer 1

Find the value of lowest term in $\frac{64}{32}$:

Calculate the GCD (or HCF) of the numerator and denominator:

GCD of $64$ and $32$ is $32$ i.e.$\mathrm{GCD}\left(64,32\right)=32$

Divide the GCD by the numerator and denominator:

$\frac{64÷32}{32÷32}=\frac{2}{1}$

Thus, $\frac{64}{32}$ reduced to its simplest form is $\frac{2}{1}$.
