Question
Simplity the following to its lowest term: $\frac{52}{76}$
✓
Answer
$\frac{52}{76}$
Factors of $52$ are $1, 2, 4, 13, 26$ and $52$
Factors of $76$ are $1, 2, 4, 19, 38$ and $76$
Common factors of $52$ and $76$ are $1, 2$ and $4$
$HCF$ of $52 $and $76$ is $= 4$
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by $4$,
we get: $\frac{52\div4}{76\div4}=\frac{13}{19}$
Therefore, the simplest form obtained is, $\frac{52}{76}=\frac{13}{19}$
