Question
Express the following ratios in the simplest form: $777 : 1147$
✓
Answer
The given ratio $=777:1147=\frac{777}{1147}$ To express it in simplest form,
we divide the numerator and denominator by the $HCF$ of $777$ and $1147.$
$=\frac{777\div37}{1147\div37}=\frac{21}{31}$
$(\text{HCF of 777 and 1147 is 37})$
$=21:31$
