To simplify the fraction \( \frac{16}{24} \), you can find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator (16) and the denominator (24) and then divide both by that factor.
1. Find the GCF:
- The GCF of 16 and 24 is 8.
2. Divide by the GCF:
- Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF:
\[ \frac{16}{24} = \frac{16 \div 8}{24 \div 8} = \frac{2}{3} \]
So, \( \frac{16}{24} \) simplifies to \( \frac{2}{3} \).
