Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 3/120 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 3 and 120.
To find the greatest common divisor of 3 and 120, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 3 (1, 3) and 120 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 3 and 120, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 3 and 120.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 3/120 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 3/3 = 1
Denominator: 120/3 = 40
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
3/120 to the simplest form is:
1/40
