Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 2/738 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 2 and 738.
To find the greatest common divisor of 2 and 738, 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 738 (1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 41, 82, 123, 246, 369, 738) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 2 and 738, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 2 and 738.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 2/738 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 2/2 = 1
Denominator: 738/2 = 369
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
2/738 to the simplest form is:
1/369
