This problem can be solved by multiplying together the two numerators (the 5 and 2),
Also, we'll multiply together the two denominators (the 7 and 10),
Doing so, we get an answer of
The fraction
Why divide by 10? 10 is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)
giving 10, which will be the numerator in our answer.
giving 70, which will be the denominator in our answer.
is not reduced to lowest terms. We can reduce this fraction to lowest
terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 10.
or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers 10 and 70.
So, this fraction reduced to lowest terms is
