Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 16/136 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 16 and 136.
To find the greatest common divisor of 16 and 136, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 16 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16) and 136 (1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 34, 68, 136) we found that 8 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 8 is the largest common factor of 16 and 136, 8 is also the greatest common divisor of 16 and 136.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 16/136 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 16/8 = 2
Denominator: 136/8 = 17
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
16/136 to the simplest form is:
2/17
