is 1/8=2/4 correct me if I’m wrong

1/8 is not equal to 2/4 since 2/4 when simplified is 1/2. Since 1/8 is not equal to 1/2, then 1/8 is also not equal to 2/4. You can find the lowest term by getting the common factors of 2 and 4. 2 has a factor of 1 and 2 while 4 has the factors of 1, 2 and 4. Based on the factors of 2 and 4, the common number or factor is 2. Divide 2/4 by the common 2; so 2 /2 / 4/2. Since 2/2 is 1 and 4/2 is 2, the simplest form of 2/4 is 1/2.
> 2/4 (common factor 2)
> 2/2 /4/2
> 1/2.
Same goes with 1/8; get the common factors of 1 and 8. Since 1 has the factor of 1 itself and 8 has factors of 1 and 8, the common factor of 1 and 8 is 1. Divide both numerator and denominator by 1 to get the lowest term. Since 1/8 / 1/1 is still 1/8, then it means that 1/8 is in it's simplified form.
> 1/8 (common factor 1)
> 1/1 / 8/1
> 1/8.
Therefore, 1/8 is not equal to 2/4.
