Determine the simplest form of the fraction.
Solution:
In order to express the fraction in simplest terms, we just need to factor out the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator. In order to determine the greatest common factor, we simply need to list the factors of each number.
Factors of 13:
1, and 13
Prime number since there are only two factors.
Factors of 46:
1, 2, 23, and 46
Since we have a prime number on our numerator, this means that we cannot simplify the given fraction any further due to the fact that there are no common values to be factored out.
= 13 / 46
Final answer:
= 13 / 46
