Question 1148494: Sorry, but can you simplify this ratio, please? It would mean a lot to me. The ratio is: Please show the work and thank you!!!!! Answer by Alyssa Maserang(9) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
The GCF of 43274 and 538 is 2
Divide both terms by the GCF, 2:
43274 ÷ 2 = 21637
538 ÷ 2 = 269
The ratio 43274 : 538 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 2 :
43274 : 538 = 21637 : 269
Therefore:
43274 : 538 = 21637 : 269
