Question

write \\(\frac{2}{12}\\) in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Find GCD of 2 and 12

The factors of 2 are 1, 2. The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12. The greatest common divisor (GCD) is 2.

Step2: Divide numerator and denominator by GCD

Divide the numerator \(2\) and the denominator \(12\) by their GCD (2). So, \(\frac{2\div2}{12\div2}=\frac{1}{6}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{6}\)
