Reduce 18/45 to the simplest form

Answer 1

To reduce a fraction to its simplest form, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and then divide both by that number.

The GCD of 18 and 45 is 9.

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 9, we get:

18 ÷ 9 = 2
45 ÷ 9 = 5

Therefore, 18/45 reduced to the simplest form is 2/5.
