Chapter 1: Problem 40

Simplify each fraction by reducing it to its lowest terms. $$\frac{116}{86}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The simplified form of \(\frac{116}{86}\) is \(\frac{58}{43}\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the Greatest Common Factor

Start by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of 116 and 86. In this case, the GCF is 2.
02

Divide by the GCF

Divide both the numerator (116) and the denominator (86) by the GCF. Doing this gives: \(\frac{116 \div 2}{86 \div 2} = \frac{58}{43}\).
03

Check if Further Simplification is Possible

Check if there is any common factor again. If not, then the fraction \(\frac{58}{43}\) is in its simplest or lowest terms.
