Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 3/357 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 3 and 357.
To find the greatest common divisor of 3 and 357, 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 357 (1, 3, 7, 17, 21, 51, 119, 357) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 3 and 357, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 3 and 357.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 3/357 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 3/3 = 1
Denominator: 357/3 = 119
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
3/357 to the simplest form is:
1/119
