Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 20/20 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 20 and 20.
To find the greatest common divisor of 20 and 20, 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 20 (1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20) we found that 20 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 20 is the largest common factor of 20 and 20, 20 is also the greatest common divisor of 20 and 20.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 20/20 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 20/20 = 1
Denominator: 20/20 = 1
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get 1/1.
1/1 is an improper fraction, which means we have to simplify further.
1 divided by 1 is 1, so the answer is:
1
The answer here happened to be a whole number, so you also could have simply divided 20 by 20 to get the same answer.
