Question

How do you write the fraction `10/30` in simplest form?

Answer 1

`10/30=1/3`

Explanation:

To simplify a fraction you have to find a common factor of its numerator and denominator.

Here both numbers end with a digit `0`, so both can be divided by `10`. If you do so you get:

`10/30=1/3`

Since the numerator of this fraction is `1` you cannot perform any further simplification. So finally the simpliest form is

`10/30=1/3`
