To reduce 8/6, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (8) and the denominator (6).
The factors of 8 are:
1, 2, 4, 8
The factors of 6 are:
1, 2, 3, 6
The GCD of 8 and 6 is 2.
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get:
8/6 = (8÷2)/(6÷2) = 4/3
Therefore, 8/6 reduces to 4/3.
