Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 16/32 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 16 and 32.
To find the greatest common divisor of 16 and 32, 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 32 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32) we found that 16 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 16 is the largest common factor of 16 and 32, 16 is also the greatest common divisor of 16 and 32.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 16/32 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 16/16 = 1
Denominator: 32/16 = 2
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
16/32 to the simplest form is:
1/2
