45/26 In simplest form

Answer 1

To simplify the fraction \( \frac{45}{26} \), we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (45) and the denominator (26).

1. The prime factors of 45 are \( 3^2 \times 5 \).
2. The prime factors of 26 are \( 2 \times 13 \).

Since there are no common prime factors, the GCD is 1.

Thus, \( \frac{45}{26} \) is already in its simplest form.

The simplest form of \( \frac{45}{26} \) is \( \frac{45}{26} \).
