Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 18/984 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 18 and 984.
To find the greatest common divisor of 18 and 984, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 18 (1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18) and 984 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 328, 492, 984) we found that 6 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 6 is the largest common factor of 18 and 984, 6 is also the greatest common divisor of 18 and 984.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 18/984 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 18/6 = 3
Denominator: 984/6 = 164
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
18/984 to the simplest form is:
3/164
