find the simple form of 148/185

Question

Find the simplest form of \(\frac{148}{185}\) 

Answer 1

Write 148 and 185 in the prime factorization, we get 

148 = 2 × 2 × 37 

185 = 5 × 37. 

Therefore, \(\frac{148}{185}\) = \(\frac{2\times2\times37}{5\times37}\)= \(\frac{4}{5}\) . 

Hence, the simplest form of \(\frac{148}{185}\) is \(\frac{4}{5}\) .
