To simplify 18/24, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 18 and 24 and divide both numbers by the GCF.
The prime factorization of 18 is 2 × 3 × 3.
The prime factorization of 24 is 2 × 2 × 2 × 3.
The common factors are 2 and 3, so the GCF of 18 and 24 is 2 × 3 = 6.
Now, divide both 18 and 24 by 6:
18 ÷ 6 = 3
24 ÷ 6 = 4
Therefore, 18/24 simplifies to 3/4.
