what is the ratio 63:28 simplified?

 

First factorize the first number:

63 isn't divisible with 2 bc the last digit isn't an even number.

 

3 is a divisor in 63 bc the digit sum is divisible by 3

63/3 = 21

 

21 is divisible by 3 bc the digit sum is divisible by 3

21/3 = 7

 

7 is a prime number ( a number that has no other divisors other then  one and itself)

 

So 63 in the factorized form is 3*3*7

 

Let's factorize 28:

 

28 is divisible by 2 bc the last digit is an even number.

28/2 = 14

 

2 is a divisor in 14 bc the last digit is an even number.

14/2 = 7

 

So 28 in the factorized form is 2*2*7

 

 

So the ratio can be rewritten as: (3*3*7):(2*2*7)

 

we divide bothe numbers by the common divisor 7:

 

(3*3):(2*2)

 

Also known as 9:4
