Reduce the ratio to its lowest form. 72:8​

Answer :

Answer:

9:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).  

The GCF of 72 and 8 is 8  

Divide both terms by the GCF, 8:

72 ÷ 8 = 9

8 ÷ 8 = 1  

The ratio 72 : 8 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 8 :  

72 : 8 = 9 : 1  

Therefore:

72 : 8 = 9 : 1
