Here is the step-by-step math to simplify it:
1
Identify the fraction components:
Numerator = 8
Denominator = 3
Denominator = 3
2
Calculate the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD):
💡 Manual Calculation Guide (Euclidean Algorithm):
• Step 1: 8 ÷ 3 = 2 (remainder 2)
• Step 2: 3 ÷ 2 = 1 (remainder 1)
• Step 3: 2 ÷ 1 = 2 (remainder 0)
→ Conclusion GCD = 1
• Step 1: 8 ÷ 3 = 2 (remainder 2)
• Step 2: 3 ÷ 2 = 1 (remainder 1)
• Step 3: 2 ÷ 1 = 2 (remainder 0)
→ Conclusion GCD = 1
