Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 3/873 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 3 and 873.
To find the greatest common divisor of 3 and 873, 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 873 (1, 3, 9, 97, 291, 873) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 3 and 873, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 3 and 873.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 3/873 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 3/3 = 1
Denominator: 873/3 = 291
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
3/873 to the simplest form is:
1/291
