Answer:
[tex]\sf \dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF).
List all the factors of 16 and 24:
- Factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
- Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
Therefore, the greatest common factor is 8.
So to reduce 16/24 to its lowest terms, divide the numerator and denominator by 8:
[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{16}{24}=\dfrac{16 \div 8}{24 \div 8}=\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
