Question

Write 1095/1168 in simplest form.

Answer 1

Write 1095 and 1168 in the prime factorization, 

We get

1095 = 3 × 5 × 73 

And 1168 = 2⁴ ×73.

∴ 1095/1168 = \(\frac{3\times 5\times 73}{2^4\times 73}\)

= \(\frac{15}{16}\).

Hence,

Simplest form of \(\frac{1095}{1168}\) is \(\frac{15}{16}\).
