Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 26/228 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 26 and 228.
To find the greatest common divisor of 26 and 228, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 26 (1, 2, 13, 26) and 228 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 19, 38, 57, 76, 114, 228) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 26 and 228, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 26 and 228.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 26/228 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 26/2 = 13
Denominator: 228/2 = 114
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
26/228 to the simplest form is:
13/114
