Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 27/900 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 27 and 900.
To find the greatest common divisor of 27 and 900, 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 900 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 25, 30, 36, 45, 50, 60, 75, 90, 100, 150, 180, 225, 300, 450, 900) we found that 9 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 9 is the largest common factor of 27 and 900, 9 is also the greatest common divisor of 27 and 900.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 27/900 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 27/9 = 3
Denominator: 900/9 = 100
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
27/900 to the simplest form is:
3/100
