Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 24/406 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 24 and 406.
To find the greatest common divisor of 24 and 406, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 24 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24) and 406 (1, 2, 7, 14, 29, 58, 203, 406) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 24 and 406, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 24 and 406.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 24/406 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 24/2 = 12
Denominator: 406/2 = 203
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
24/406 to the simplest form is:
12/203
