how would i reduce 45/108 or make it a mix numberb

The fraction is not reduced to lowest terms. We can reduce this fraction to lowest

terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 9.

Why divide by 9? 9 is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)
or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers 45 and 108.
So, this fraction reduced to lowest terms is 5/12

answer is 5/12

Try to think of factors that go into both of these numbers-- the one that I can think of is 9. Divide both of them by 9, or another factor, and that is your reduced fraction. Hope I helped!

To reduce the fraction 45/108, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator and divide both of them by it. Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Find the GCD of 45 and 108.
- One way to find the GCD is by listing the factors of each number. For 45, the factors are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, and 45. For 108, the factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, and 108.
- By comparing the two lists, you can find that the GCD of 45 and 108 is 9.

Step 2: Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD.
- Divide 45 by 9: 45 ÷ 9 = 5.
- Divide 108 by 9: 108 ÷ 9 = 12.

So, the reduced fraction of 45/108 is 5/12.

If you want to express 5/12 as a mixed number, follow these additional steps:

Step 3: Divide the numerator (5) by the denominator (12).
- Divide 5 by 12: 5 ÷ 12. This division results in a quotient of 0 with a remainder of 5.

Step 4: Write the mixed number.
- The quotient (0) becomes the whole number part of the mixed number.
- The remainder (5) becomes the numerator of the fractional part.
- The denominator (12) remains the same.

Therefore, 5/12, when expressed as a mixed number, is 0 5/12.
