What is 34 over 85 reduced to?

Answer 1

If your answer needs to remain a fraction, you cannot reduce 34 over 85. The reason for this is that there is no number that can be divided into both 34 and 85 evenly. For example, 2 can be divided into 34 evenly (so the answer is a whole number), but 85 cannot be. Or 85 can be divided by 5, but 34 cannot be. So 34 over 85 is reduced as low as it can be as a fraction. Hope that makes sense to you.
