Answers
GPT 3.5
In order to reduce a fraction to its lowest terms, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and then divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD.
To find the GCD of 4 and 12, we can list the factors of both numbers:
Factors of 4: 1, 2, 4
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
The common factor between 4 and 12 is 4. Therefore, the GCD is 4.
Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 4, we get:
4 ÷ 4 = 1
12 ÷ 4 = 3
So, 4/12 in lowest terms is 1/3.
