Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 2/360 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 2 and 360.
To find the greatest common divisor of 2 and 360, 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 360 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, 360) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 2 and 360, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 2 and 360.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 2/360 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 2/2 = 1
Denominator: 360/2 = 180
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
2/360 to the simplest form is:
1/180
