A fraction is in lowest terms if HCF (GCD) of numerator and denominator = 1

Solution:

Option A: 2879\frac{28}{79} ​​

79 is a prime number

79 does not divide 28

HCF = 1 

fraction is in lowest term.

Option B: 31186 \frac{31}{186}​​

186 = 31 × 6

HCF = 31

fraction is not in lowest term.

Option C:  9156\frac{9}{156}​​

9 = 3 × 3, 156 = 3 × 52

HCF = 3

fraction is not in lowest term.

Option D: 57152\frac{57}{152}​​

57 = 3 × 19, 152 = 8 ×19

HCF = 19
