Question

write \\(\frac{2}{4}\\) in lowest terms.

Explanation:

Step1: Find GCD of 2 and 4

The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 2 and 4 is 2, since the factors of 2 are 1, 2 and the factors of 4 are 1, 2, 4. The largest common factor is 2.

Step2: Divide numerator and denominator by GCD

Divide the numerator (2) and the denominator (4) by the GCD (2). So, \(\frac{2\div2}{4\div2}=\frac{1}{2}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{2}\)
