What is the reduced form of the fraction $\frac{220}{550}?$

Given fraction: $\frac{220}{550}$ 

Factors of number 220 are:

$220=2\times 2\times 5\times 11$ 
 

Factors of number 550 are: 
 

$550=2\times 5\times 5\times 11$ 
 

H.C.F of 220 and 550 = 2 × 5 × 11 = 110
 

To get the reduced form, divide both the numerator and the denominator by 110 (H.C.F.)

Therefore,

$\frac{220÷110}{550÷110}=\frac{2}{5}$   

So, the reduced form of the given fraction is $\frac{\mathbf{2}}{\mathbf{5}}$ .
