Questions: Write the fraction in lowest terms. 2/10

Solution Steps

To reduce a fraction 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.

We start with the fraction \( \frac{2}{10} \).

To reduce the fraction, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator. The GCD of \( 2 \) and \( 10 \) is \( 2 \).

We divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD: \[ \text{Reduced Numerator} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \] \[ \text{Reduced Denominator} = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \] Thus, the fraction in lowest terms is \( \frac{1}{5} \).
