Question

What is 14/126 simplified if it can be simplified?

Answer 1

Yes.. it can be simplified

Explanation:

Both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 2... if you think that 14 would be a big number.... just think `126+14=140`
`140/14=10` `therefore126/14=1/9`
You get it... `1/9`

Answer 2

`1/9`

Explanation:

`:.cancel14^7/cancel126^63=cancel7^1/cancel63^9=1/9`

Answer 3

`1/9`

Explanation:

First of all notice that both 14 and 126 are even numbers so we can at start by `-: 2` as a first step.

For multiply and divide, what you do to the top of a fraction you do to the bottom.

`(14-:2)/(126-:2) = 7/63`

Can we divide 7 into 63? Note that `10 xx7=70` which is greater than 63 but close to it. lets try `9xx7 =(10xx7)-7=63` so we have

`14/126-=(7-:7)/(63-:7)=1/9`
