Step 1 Ratios expressed as x:y are same as fractions xy Hence to simplify them we can divide them by their Greatest Common Factor. As factors of 24 are {1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24} and factors of 36 are {1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36} Common factors are {1,2,3,4,6,12} and Greatest Common Factor is 12. So dividing each of 24:36 by 12, we get 2:3 and we can say that 24:36⇔2:3
