IT CANT BE REDUCED
To reduce a fraction, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (4) and the denominator (9).
Step 1: Find the GCD of 4 and 9.
- List all the factors of 4: 1, 2, 4
- List all the factors of 9: 1, 3, 9
- The common factor is 1, so the GCD is 1.
Step 2: Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD.
- Divide 4 by 1 = 4
- Divide 9 by 1 = 9
Therefore, the fraction 4/9 cannot be further reduced.
