How to simplify 13/4?

Simplifying a fraction (reducing it to the lowest terms), such as 13/4, means expressing the same value more clearly and concisely.

Step-by-step simplification of 13/4

  1. Start with computing the GCD of 13 and 4: GCD(13, 4) = 1.
  2. Divide the numerator by the GCD: 13/1 = 13
  3. Divide the denominator by the GCD: 4/1 = 4
  4. Combine these results to form the new simplified fraction: 13/4

The final result is: 13 4 = 13 4

Since the GCD is equal to 1, the fraction was already in its simplest form and couldn't be further reduced.
