Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 14/300 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 14 and 300.
To find the greatest common divisor of 14 and 300, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 14 (1, 2, 7, 14) and 300 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 60, 75, 100, 150, 300) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 14 and 300, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 14 and 300.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 14/300 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 14/2 = 7
Denominator: 300/2 = 150
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
14/300 to the simplest form is:
7/150
