Answer 1

$1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24$ are the factors of $24$
$1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36$ are the factors of $36$
Common factors of $24$ and $36$ are $1, 2, 3, 4, 6$ and $12$
$H C F = 12$
Now dividing both numerator and denominator by $12$
$= 24 \div 12 / 36 \div 12$
$= 2 / 3$
Thus $2 / 3$ is the equivalent factor to $24 / 36$ .
