The given ratio is in the simplest form or not.  The given ratio in the simplest form.  The simplest form of the given ratio in two other ways.  Given information:  The ratio given in the question:  8 to 6

Joseph Lewis · Accepted Answer

Calculation:  As per the given problem,  Consider the ratio:  8 to 6  The factors of 8 are 1,2,4,8 and  The factors of 6 are 1,2,3,6.  GCF of 8 and 6 is 2, that is, both 8 and 6 is divisible by 2.  Hence, the ratio 8 to 6 is not in its simplest form.  Therefore, 86=8÷26÷2 [Divide numerator and denominator by 2.]  =43  As 4 and 3 do not have any common factor other than 1, so 4 to 3 is the simplest form of the ratio.  Hence,  The simplest form of the ratio 8 to 6 is 4 to 3.  Now, two more ways to write the ratio are:  43 and 4:3.
