① | Factor both the denominator and the numerator, then cancel the common factor. $\color{blue}{4y-4}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{4y^2-4y}{4y^2-12y+8} & =\frac{ y \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( 4y-4 \right) }}{ \left( y-2 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( 4y-4 \right) }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{y}{y-2} \end{aligned} $$ |
