$\frac{84}{-147}$
$\frac{84}{-147}$
✓
Answer
$\frac{84}{-147}$Converting the number to a positive denominator:
$=\frac{84\times(-1)}{-147\times(-1)}=\frac{-84}{147}$
H.C.F. of 84 and 147 is 21 Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 21 $=\frac{-84\div(21)}{147\div(21)}$ $=\frac{-4}{7}$
$=\frac{84\times(-1)}{-147\times(-1)}=\frac{-84}{147}$
