Is 34 over 42 in simplest form?

Answer 1

To determine if 34/42 is in simplest form, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of both numbers, which is 2. Dividing both numbers by 2 gives us 17/21. Since 17 and 21 do not share any common factors other than 1, 17/21 is already in simplest form.

Answer 2

No because 34/42 = 17/21 in its lowest terms
