Q. Simplify the fraction completely. If the fraction does not simplify, submit the fraction in its current form.\newline60x372x2 \frac{60 x^{3}}{72 x^{2}} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Factor out GCD: Factor out the greatest common divisor from the numerator and the denominator.\newlineThe greatest common divisor of 6060 and 7272 is 1212. We can also simplify x3/x2x^{3}/x^{2} by subtracting the exponents.\newline(60x3)/(72x2)=(125x3)/(126x2)(60x^{3})/(72x^{2}) = (12\cdot 5\cdot x^{3})/(12\cdot 6\cdot x^{2})
  2. Cancel common factors: Cancel out the common factors.\newlineThe 1212 in the numerator and denominator cancels out, as does x2x^{2} because x3/x2=x32=xx^{3}/x^{2} = x^{3-2} = x.\newline(125x3)/(126x2)=(5x)/(6)(12\cdot 5\cdot x^{3})/(12\cdot 6\cdot x^{2}) = (5\cdot x)/(6)
  3. Check for further simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified further.\newlineThe fraction (5×x)/(6)(5\times x)/(6) cannot be simplified further because 55 and 66 have no common factors other than 11, and xx is already in its simplest form.
