Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 2/252 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 2 and 252.
To find the greatest common divisor of 2 and 252, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 2 (1, 2) and 252 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 2 and 252, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 2 and 252.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 2/252 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 2/2 = 1
Denominator: 252/2 = 126
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
2/252 to the simplest form is:
1/126
