How to simplify 14/3?

Simplifying a fraction (reducing it to the lowest terms), such as 14/3, means expressing the same value more clearly and concisely.

Step-by-step simplification of 14/3

  1. Start with computing the GCD of 14 and 3: GCD(14, 3) = 1.
  2. Divide the numerator by the GCD: 14/1 = 14
  3. Divide the denominator by the GCD: 3/1 = 3
  4. Combine these results to form the new simplified fraction: 14/3

The final result is: 14 3 = 14 3

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