Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 33/55 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 33 and 55.
To find the greatest common divisor of 33 and 55, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 33 (1, 3, 11, 33) and 55 (1, 5, 11, 55) we found that 11 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 11 is the largest common factor of 33 and 55, 11 is also the greatest common divisor of 33 and 55.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 33/55 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 33/11 = 3
Denominator: 55/11 = 5
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
33/55 to the simplest form is:
3/5
