GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
Follow these steps:
Step 1: If the denominator is negative, multiply both numerator and denominator by -1
Step 2: Find the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) of the numerator and denominator
Step 3: Divide both numerator and denominator by their GCD
Example: Convert -8/28 to standard form
- GCD(8, 28) = 4
- -8 ÷ 4 = -2
- 28 ÷ 4 = 7
- Standard form: -2/7
