Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 12/422 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 12 and 422.
To find the greatest common divisor of 12 and 422, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 12 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12) and 422 (1, 2, 211, 422) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 12 and 422, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 12 and 422.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 12/422 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 12/2 = 6
Denominator: 422/2 = 211
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
12/422 to the simplest form is:
6/211
