Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 35/217 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 35 and 217.
To find the greatest common divisor of 35 and 217, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 35 (1, 5, 7, 35) and 217 (1, 7, 31, 217) we found that 7 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 7 is the largest common factor of 35 and 217, 7 is also the greatest common divisor of 35 and 217.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 35/217 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 35/7 = 5
Denominator: 217/7 = 31
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
35/217 to the simplest form is:
5/31
