Answer: [tex]\frac{14}{33}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, find the GCD (or HCF) of the numerator and denominator.
- GCD of 42 and 99 is 3
2) Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD (3).
- 42 ÷ 3
- 99 ÷ 3
3) The reduced fraction comes out as:
- 14
- 33
4) Therefore, 42/99 simplified to lowest terms is 14/33.
