How to simplify 26/1?

Simplifying a fraction (reducing it to the lowest terms), such as 26/1, means expressing the same value more clearly and concisely.

Step-by-step simplification of 26/1

  1. Start with computing the GCD of 26 and 1: GCD(26, 1) = 1.
  2. Divide the numerator by the GCD: 26/1 = 26
  3. Divide the denominator by the GCD: 1/1 = 1
  4. Combine these results to form the new simplified fraction: 26/1

The final result is: 26 1 = 26 1

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