Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 12/483 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 12 and 483.
To find the greatest common divisor of 12 and 483, 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 483 (1, 3, 7, 21, 23, 69, 161, 483) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 12 and 483, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 12 and 483.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 12/483 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 12/3 = 4
Denominator: 483/3 = 161
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
12/483 to the simplest form is:
4/161
