Question
Express the following ratios in the simplest form: $324 : 144$
✓
Answer
The given ratio $=324:144=\frac{324}{144}$ To express it in simplest form, we divide the numerator and denominator by the $H.C.F$ of $324$ and $144.$
$H.C.F$ of $324$ and $144.$
$=36$
$\therefore\frac{324}{144}=\frac{324\div36}{144\div36}=\frac{9}{4}$
$\therefore \text{Required ratio}=9:4$
