To simplify the fraction 42/60, you'll want to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (42) and the denominator (60), and then divide both by that GCD.
The factors of 42 are , 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 7 , 14 , 21 , 42 .
The factors of 60 are , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 10 , 12 , 15 , 20 , 30 , 60 .
The largest number that appears in both lists is 6, so the GCD of 12 and 36 is 6.
42 ÷ 6 = 7
60 ÷ 6 = 10
So, the simplified form of 42/60 is 7/10.
The fraction 42/60 is equivalent to 7/10 when simplified.
