Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 27/438 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 27 and 438.
To find the greatest common divisor of 27 and 438, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 27 (1, 3, 9, 27) and 438 (1, 2, 3, 6, 73, 146, 219, 438) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 27 and 438, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 27 and 438.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 27/438 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 27/3 = 9
Denominator: 438/3 = 146
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
27/438 to the simplest form is:
9/146
