✓ You can divide the numerator and the denominator by 2.

So, 2 divided by 2 is 1 and 10 divided by 2 is 5.

\(\frac{2}{10}\) is equivalent to \(\frac{1}{5}\).

\(\frac{1}{5}\) has the same value as \(\frac{2}{10}\), it's just written in a simpler form.

✓ You can divide the numerator and the denominator by 3.

This gives you the fraction \(\frac{2}{3}\).

\(\frac{2}{3}\) is equivalent to \(\frac{6}{9}\) but it's in a simpler form.

✓ You can divide 18 and 24 by 2.

This will give you the fraction \(\frac{9}{12}\).

You can then simplify that further and divide the numerator and denominator by 3, to give \(\frac{3}{4}\).

Or, in one step you can divide the numerator and the denominator by 6.

Either way, the simplest form of \(\frac{18}{24}\) is \(\frac{3}{4}\).
