What is the simplest form of \(\frac{21}{18}\)?
You must find the GCF
Look at the factors of 21:
1,3,7,21
Look at the factors of 18:
1,2,3,6,9,18
Look at the common factors
1,3
So 3 is the GCF
Now divide \(\frac{21}{18}\)by\(\frac{3}{3}\)=\(\frac{7}{6}\)
\(\frac{7}{6}\) can be changed to a mix fraction. Divide the numerator(the top-7) by the denominator(bottom-6)
7÷6=\(1 \frac{1}{6}\)
Answer:
\(\frac{7}{6}\) or \(1 \frac{1}{6}\)
