Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 15/588 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 15 and 588.
To find the greatest common divisor of 15 and 588, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 15 (1, 3, 5, 15) and 588 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 49, 84, 98, 147, 196, 294, 588) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 15 and 588, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 15 and 588.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 15/588 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 15/3 = 5
Denominator: 588/3 = 196
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
15/588 to the simplest form is:
5/196
