What is 16 over 64 reduced to its lowest terms?

Answer 1

See if you find any common factors between 16 and 64. Then, divide both numbers by that common factor(s).

Do it in stages 16/64 is the same as 8/32 is the same as 4/16 is the same as 2/8 is the same as 1/4. (at each stage I divided the top and bottom number by 2).

Alternatively you could say that 4 sixteens makes 64 and divide the top and bottom by 16.
