Question

What is the simpliest form of $\frac{6}{24}$ upon conversion?

• A. $\frac{1}{6}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{8}$
• D. $1$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{4}$

Simplest form means converting the fraction in such a way that its numerator and denominator have common factor as 1 or are relatively prime.

$\frac{6}{24}=\frac{2\times 3}{2\times 2\times 2\times 3}$

Upon cancelling common factors from the numerator and denominator, we get $\frac{1}{2\times 2}=\frac{1}{4}$, which is the simplest form of $\frac{6}{24}$.
