Solution Steps
To reduce a rational number to its lowest terms, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator and then divide both by this GCD.
Step 1: Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)
To reduce the fraction \(\frac{774}{602}\) to its lowest terms, we first find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator. The GCD of 774 and 602 is 86.
Step 2: Divide the Numerator and Denominator by the GCD
Next, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD:
\[
\frac{774 \div 86}{602 \div 86} = \frac{9}{7}
\]
