Question
Reduce the fraction to simplest from: $\frac7{28}$
✓
Answer
Factors of $7$ are $1$ and $7$
Factors of $28$ are $1, 2, 4, 7, 14$ and $28$
$\therefore$ Common factors of $7$ and $28$ are $1$ and $7$
Highest of these common factors is $7$
$\therefore H.C.F.$ of $7$ and $28$ is $7$
Now, $\frac7{28}=\frac{7\div7}{28\div7}=\frac14$
Hence, the simplest form of $\frac7{28}$ is $\frac14$
