Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 3/504 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 3 and 504.
To find the greatest common divisor of 3 and 504, 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 504 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 24, 28, 36, 42, 56, 63, 72, 84, 126, 168, 252, 504) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 3 and 504, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 3 and 504.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 3/504 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 3/3 = 1
Denominator: 504/3 = 168
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
3/504 to the simplest form is:
1/168
