26/33
The fraction 26/33 cannot be simplified any further.
To simplify the fraction 26/33, you can first check if there is a common factor between the numerator (26) and the denominator (33).
Both 26 and 33 can be divided by 1, so there is no common factor other than 1.
Thus, the simplified fraction 26/33 cannot be further reduced.
To simplify the fraction 26/33, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (26) and the denominator (33).
To find the GCD, you can use the Euclidean algorithm, which involves dividing the larger number by the smaller number and taking the remainder. Then, divide the previous divisor by this remainder and continue the process until the remainder is zero.
Let's apply this algorithm:
1. Divide 33 by 26: 33 ÷ 26 = 1 remainder 7
2. Divide 26 by 7: 26 ÷ 7 = 3 remainder 5
3. Divide 7 by 5: 7 ÷ 5 = 1 remainder 2
4. Divide 5 by 2: 5 ÷ 2 = 2 remainder 1
5. Divide 2 by 1: 2 ÷ 1 = 2 remainder 0
Since we have reached a remainder of 0, the GCD of 26 and 33 is 1.
To simplify the fraction, divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD:
26 ÷ 1 = 26
33 ÷ 1 = 33
Therefore, the simplified form of the fraction 26/33 is 26/33.
