4/16 = ?/?

1 answer

To solve for the equivalent fraction, you can simplify \( \frac{4}{16} \).

  1. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4: \[ \frac{4 \div 4}{16 \div 4} = \frac{1}{4} \]

Thus, \( \frac{4}{16} = \frac{1}{4} \).

If you're looking for a different form of the fraction, you can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. For instance, multiplying by 2 gives: \[ \frac{4}{16} = \frac{4 \times 2}{16 \times 2} = \frac{8}{32} \]

You can choose any number to multiply both the numerator and the denominator to find different equivalent fractions.
