Simplify to lowest terms
Problem
Write \(18/24\) as an equivalent fraction in lowest terms.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Lowest terms means the numerator and denominator share no factor greater than one. We’ll find the greatest common factor of eighteen and twenty-four, divide both parts by that same number, and check the new pair’s greatest common factor. Using the greatest common factor completes the reduction in one step while preserving the fraction’s value.
