42 /48 in simplest form

Sagot :

First we need to find the GCF (greatest common factor)

Factors of 42 are:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42

Factors of 48 are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

GCF is 6

To simplify you divide numerator and denominator into the GCF

42 ÷ 6 = 7

48 ÷ 6 = 8

42/48 = 7/8

Hope this helps. :)
