Question

simplify to lowest terms. \\(\frac{4}{18} = \frac{?}{\square}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Find GCD of 4 and 18

The factors of 4 are 1, 2, 4. The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18. The greatest common divisor (GCD) is 2.

Step2: Divide numerator and denominator by GCD

Divide numerator 4 by 2: \( \frac{4\div2}{18\div2} = \frac{2}{9} \)

Answer:

\(\frac{2}{9}\)
