Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 2/278 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 2 and 278.
To find the greatest common divisor of 2 and 278, 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 278 (1, 2, 139, 278) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 2 and 278, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 2 and 278.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 2/278 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 2/2 = 1
Denominator: 278/2 = 139
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
2/278 to the simplest form is:
1/139
