When left as one fraction, no. That is the simplest that it can be. There is no common factor between x-2 and x-8.

No the division of x-2 by x-8 is dependent on what x is.. For example:
x=2 is 2-2/2-8 not 1/4. Also if x is 8 the answer is is undefined.

no - if it was (x-2) /(x^3 - 8) then it could've been simplified, but in this case - NO

well i probably wrong but i would say yes. well x divided by x equals one. and then you could divide the rest by 2 and get 1/4 so it would be one and 1/4 but thats prbaly worng because even though im one grade ahead in math, ive always hated fractions.

(x - 2)/(x - 8) is already in lowest terms.
No.

No, it's already in simplest form.
