Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert the given fraction to lowest terms, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator. We can simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the GCF. Taking the GCF of 36 and 42, we get 6 as the missing value. Therefore, we can rewrite the fraction as: $\frac{36 \div 6}{42 \div 6}=\frac{6}{7}$
