Answer

The simplified form of 2/4 is 1/2.

 

Explanation

Simplifying a fraction involves reducing it to its simplest form, where the numerator and denominator have no common divisors other than 1. Follow the steps below to simplify the fraction.

 

Step 1: Identify the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator. For 2 and 4, the GCD is 2.

 

Step 2: Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD to simplify the fraction. 2/4 = (2÷2)/(4÷2) = 1/2

 

Thus, 2/4 can be simplified to 1/2.
