The standard form of 18/-24 is ______.

Solution :

Given, the number is 18/-24

We have to find the standard form.

We know that, to reduce the rational number to its standard form, we divide its numerator and denominator by their HCF

18 = 2 × 3 × 3

24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

HCF of 18 and 36 = 2 × 3 = 6

18/6 = 3

-24/6 = -4

Now, 18/-24 = 3/-4 = -3/4

Therefore, the standard form of 18/-24 is -3/4
