Is 288/1155 in Lowest Terms
Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
Solution:
- First, factorize the numerator using prime numbers: 288 = 2*12*12 = 2*3*4*3*4=2*2*2*2*2*3*
- Second, factorize the denominator: 1155 = 5*231=5*7*33 = 5*7*3*11
- Notice that the numerator and denominator have only one factor in common (3).
- Restate the ratio after removing the common factor
- New numerator = 2*2*2*2*2*3 = 96
- New denominator = 5*7*11 = 385
- Same ratio in lowest terms:
