Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 17/289 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 17 and 289.
To find the greatest common divisor of 17 and 289, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 17 (1, 17) and 289 (1, 17, 289) we found that 17 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 17 is the largest common factor of 17 and 289, 17 is also the greatest common divisor of 17 and 289.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 17/289 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 17/17 = 1
Denominator: 289/17 = 17
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
