Question
Express the following ratios in the simplest form:
186 : 403
186 : 403
✓
Answer
The given ratio $=186:403=\frac{186}{403}$ To express it in simplest form, we divide the numerator and denominator by the HCF of 186 and 403. Now, HCF of 186 and 403 = 31
$\therefore\frac{186}{403}=\frac{186\div31}{403\div31}=\frac{6}{13}$ $\therefore\text{Required ratio}=6:13$
$\therefore\frac{186}{403}=\frac{186\div31}{403\div31}=\frac{6}{13}$ $\therefore\text{Required ratio}=6:13$
