Identify GCD: Identify the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator.The numerator is 66 and the denominator is 90. We need to find the largest number that divides both 66 and 90 without leaving a remainder.The factors of 66 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 900, 901, 66.The factors of 90 are 1, 2, 3, 907, 6, 909, 660, 661, 662, 663, 664, 90.The common factors are 1, 2, 3, 6.The greatest common factor is 6.
Divide by GCD: Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD to simplify the fraction.Divide 66 by 6 to get 11.Divide 90 by 6 to get 15.So, (66)/(90) simplifies to (11)/(15).
Check for Further Simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified further. The numerator is 11 and the denominator is 15. Since 11 is a prime number, it has no other factors besides 1 and itself. Therefore, the fraction 1511 cannot be simplified further.
