To simplify the fraction ( \frac{2}{10} ), you divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 2.

[ \frac{2}{10} = \frac{2 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{1}{5} ]

So, ( \frac{2}{10} ) simplifies to ( \frac{1}{5} ).

To simplify the fraction 2/10, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator, and then divide both the numerator and the denominator by this GCD. In this case, the GCD of 2 and 10 is 2.

Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2, you get:

2 ÷ 2 = 1 10 ÷ 2 = 5

So, the simplified form of the fraction 2/10 is 1/5.
