  • Percent: 50%
14/281/2

Same amount, fewer parts

Step-by-step solution

The problem

\frac{14}{28}

  1. Find the greatest common factor. List the factors of each:
    Factors of 14: 1, 2, 7, 14
    Factors of 28: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28
    The greatest common factor (GCF) is 14.

    \text{GCF}(14, 28) = 14

  2. Divide the top and bottom by 14. Dividing both by the same number keeps the value the same.

    = \frac{14 \div 14}{28 \div 14} = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{1}{2}}

All the working together

\begin{aligned} &\frac{14}{28} \\[8pt] &= \frac{14 \div 14}{28 \div 14} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{divide by 14}} \\[8pt] &= \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{1}{2}}\end{aligned}
