Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 16/660 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 16 and 660.
To find the greatest common divisor of 16 and 660, 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 660 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 22, 30, 33, 44, 55, 60, 66, 110, 132, 165, 220, 330, 660) we found that 4 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 4 is the largest common factor of 16 and 660, 4 is also the greatest common divisor of 16 and 660.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 16/660 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 16/4 = 4
Denominator: 660/4 = 165
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
16/660 to the simplest form is:
4/165
