When the numerator and the denominator of a fraction have no common factor other than one, the fraction is in lowest term such as 7/8.In order to express a fraction in its lowest terms, divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor (GCF). For example:Express 16/36 in lowest terms.1) List the factors of the numerator.The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.2) List the factors of the denominator.The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 363) Find the greatest common factor (GCF).The greatest common factor to both 16mand 36 is 4.The GCF is 4.4) Divide the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by the GCF.(16 ÷ 4)/(36 ÷ 4) = 4/95) Write the fraction in lowest terms.4/916/36 is expressed in lowest terms is 4/9.
The Greatest Common Factor of 9, 18, 21: 3
The factors of 45 are: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45The factors of 72 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72The common factors are: 1, 3, 9The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is: 9
the lowest common denominator is 70 the numerators would become 63 and 30
You have to convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and find a common denominator.For example:If you want to subtract 3/4 from 10 2/3, you have to first convert the 10 2/3 to an improper fraction, which would be 32/3. Next you have to find the common denominator for both fractions. 3 x 4 = 12, so 12 is the lowest common denominator; therefore, 3/4 = 9/12 and 32/3 = 128/12.Now you can perform the operation:128/12 - 9/12 = 117/12; convert 117/12 to a mixed number by dividing 117 by 12, which is 9 with a remainder of 9; 117/12 becomes 9 9/12 or 9 3/4.
The least common factor is: 1
The least common factor is: 1
The least common factor of any set of positive integers is 1.
The least common factor is: 1

3 is the greatest common factor of 9 and 12.
The lowest common factor of any 2 or more numbers is always ' 1 '.It so happens that in the case of 9 and 10, their highestcommon factor is also ' 1 '.
The least common factor of any set of integers is 1.
The least common factor of any set of integers is 1.
The LCF is 1. The GCF is 3.
It is: 1
