To write a fraction in simplest form, we need to simplify it by dividing both the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number) by their greatest common factor (GCF).
For the fraction 8/10, let's find the GCF.
The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.
The factors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, and 10.
The common factors of 8 and 10 are 1 and 2. The greatest common factor is 2.
Now, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF, which is 2.
8 ÷ 2 = 4
10 ÷ 2 = 5
Therefore, the fraction 8/10 in simplest form is 4/5.
