To reduce any fraction, divide numerator and denominator (top and bottom numbers)
by their greatest common factor.
The greatest common factor of 6 and 48 is 6 .
When 6/48 is reduced to simplest form, it's 1/8 .
Answer = 40/48 = (8x 5)/ (8x6) = 5/6
48/6+48 = 56
4/9
6 / 48 = .125
To reduce 36/48, find the common factors of the numbers (12), and divide them out. 36/48 = 3/4
6/48= 1/8 (6/6=1) (48/6=8)
6/48 = 1/8
6/48 = 1/8
6/48 = 1/8
11 over 12 (44 divided by 4 is 11 and 48 divided by 4 is 12)
It is: 6/48 = 1/8 simplified or 0.125 as a decimal
48/6 = 8, a whole number.
