Question

write \\(\frac{2}{8}\\) in lowest terms.

Explanation:

Step1: Find GCD of 2 and 8

The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 2 and 8 is 2, since the factors of 2 are 1, 2 and factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, 8. The largest common factor is 2.

Step2: Divide numerator and denominator by GCD

Divide the numerator \(2\) and denominator \(8\) by their GCD (2). So, \(\frac{2\div2}{8\div2}=\frac{1}{4}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{4}\)
