2/141/7

Same amount, fewer parts

Step-by-step solution

The problem

\frac{2}{14}

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

    \text{GCF}(2, 14) = 2

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

    = \frac{2 \div 2}{14 \div 2} = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{1}{7}}

All the working together

\begin{aligned} &\frac{2}{14} \\[8pt] &= \frac{2 \div 2}{14 \div 2} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{divide by 2}} \\[8pt] &= \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{1}{7}}\end{aligned}
