Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 2/76 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 2 and 76.
To find the greatest common divisor of 2 and 76, 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 76 (1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 2 and 76, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 2 and 76.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 2/76 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 2/2 = 1
Denominator: 76/2 = 38
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
2/76 to the simplest form is:
1/38
