Question

write \\(\frac{2}{12}\\) in lowest terms.

Explanation:

Step1: Find GCD of 2 and 12

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

Step2: Divide numerator and denominator by GCD

Divide numerator \(2\) and denominator \(12\) by 2: \(\frac{2\div2}{12\div2}=\frac{1}{6}\)

Answer:

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