Same amount, fewer parts

Step-by-step solution

The problem

\frac{24}{32}

  1. Find the greatest common factor. List the factors of each:
    Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
    Factors of 32: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
    The greatest common factor (GCF) is 8.

    \text{GCF}(24, 32) = 8

  2. Divide the top and bottom by 8. Dividing both by the same number keeps the value the same.

    = \frac{24 \div 8}{32 \div 8} = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{3}{4}}

All the working together

\begin{aligned} &\frac{24}{32} \\[8pt] &= \frac{24 \div 8}{32 \div 8} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{divide by 8}} \\[8pt] &= \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{3}{4}}\end{aligned}
