Question

$\frac{24}{9} = $

Explanation:

Step1: Find GCD of 24 and 9

The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 24 and 9 is 3, since \( \text{GCD}(24,9) = 3 \).

Step2: Divide numerator and denominator by GCD

Divide the numerator 24 and the denominator 9 by 3: \( \frac{24\div3}{9\div3} = \frac{8}{3} \). Also, as a mixed number, \( \frac{8}{3}=2\frac{2}{3} \), but simplifying the fraction gives \( \frac{8}{3} \) (or the mixed number form). If we just simplify the fraction to lowest terms, we use the GCD to reduce it.

Answer:

\( \frac{8}{3} \) (or \( 2\frac{2}{3} \) if mixed number is preferred)
