Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 3/999 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 3 and 999.
To find the greatest common divisor of 3 and 999, 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 999 (1, 3, 9, 27, 37, 111, 333, 999) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 3 and 999, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 3 and 999.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 3/999 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 3/3 = 1
Denominator: 999/3 = 333
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
3/999 to the simplest form is:
1/333
