First divide by 2 to both top and bottom which is 8/12. Then divide by 2 again which is 4/6. Finally, divide by 2 again which is 2/3.

To reduce the fraction in its simplest form...first find the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator..so in this case is 8.

Now lets divide the numerator by the GMF;
16 ÷ 8 = 2 
Next the denominator;
24 ÷ 8 = 3

So [tex] \frac{16}{24} = \frac{2}{3} [/tex]
Hope this helps! :D
