36/2 = 18

36 ÷ 2 = 18

48 ÷ 2 =24

18÷2 = 9

24÷ 2 = 12

9÷3 = 3

12÷ 3 = 4

the lowest fraction is 3/4

having an answer in lowest terms means that it cannot be divided by any other numbers and result in a whole number, for instance, if you wanted to divide 18 by 2 you’d get 9, then you know 9 can be divided by 3, so 3 would be your answer(9/3=3). since 3 cannot be divded any lower, unless you want a decimal, 3 is in lowest terms.

Therefore, an easy way to get 36 in its lowest terms is to find its greatest common factor=the largest # it can be divided by. to find the greatest common factor think well 36/2=18, and if 36/18=2 that must be its greatest common factor(18) and 2 must be the lowest term for 36.

Hope that helps!! ^_^

1. 21/98 factor each term Only factors of 21 are 3 x 7 & 21 * 1. Since 98 can only be divided by 7 evenly 21 /7 = 3 98/7 = 14 3/14 is lowest term 2. 25/64 This is already in its lowest terms. But you can express it as a squared number instead. sqrt of 25 = 5 sqrt of 64 = 8 (5/8)^2 3. 5a^2b/10b^2 Divide both numerator and denominator by 5b 5a^2 b/5b = a^2 10b^2/5b = 2b a^2/b

Okay.

Do 36/2 and 48/2 first.

It comes out as 18 ÷ 24

18/24 = 0.75

or, 18/24 = 3/4

They both can be divided by 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 so the lowest it would go is 3/4
