To simplify the fraction 34/72, you'll want to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (34) and the denominator (72), and then divide both by that GCD.
The factors of 34 are , 1 , 2 , 17 , 34 .
The factors of 72 are , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 18 , 24 , 36 , 72 .
The largest number that appears in both lists is 2, so the GCD of 12 and 36 is 2.
34 ÷ 2 = 17
72 ÷ 2 = 36
So, the simplified form of 34/72 is 17/36.
The fraction 34/72 is equivalent to 17/36 when simplified.
thirty-four over 72
