Identify GCD: Identify the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator.The GCD of 22 and 64 is 2, because 2 is the largest number that divides both 22 and 64 without leaving a remainder.
Divide by GCD: Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD to simplify the fraction.22÷2=1164÷2=32So, 6422 simplifies to 3211.
Check for further simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified further.The numbers 11 and 32 do not have any common divisors other than 1, so the fraction is in its simplest form.
