Question

Is 26 over 32 simplified

Answer 1

26 and 32 are both even numbers, which means they can be divided by 2, thus 26/32 is not simplified yet.

Let's divide both numbers by 2:

$\frac{26/2}{32/2}=\frac{13}{16}$

13 is a prime number, which means it can only be divided by itself and by 1, then 13/16 is simplified.
