Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 20/140 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 20 and 140.
To find the greatest common divisor of 20 and 140, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 20 (1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20) and 140 (1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, 140) we found that 20 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 20 is the largest common factor of 20 and 140, 20 is also the greatest common divisor of 20 and 140.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 20/140 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 20/20 = 1
Denominator: 140/20 = 7
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
20/140 to the simplest form is:
1/7
