Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 22/272 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 22 and 272.
To find the greatest common divisor of 22 and 272, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 22 (1, 2, 11, 22) and 272 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 22 and 272, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 22 and 272.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 22/272 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 22/2 = 11
Denominator: 272/2 = 136
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
22/272 to the simplest form is:
11/136
