Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 35/500 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 35 and 500.
To find the greatest common divisor of 35 and 500, 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 500 (1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250, 500) we found that 5 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 5 is the largest common factor of 35 and 500, 5 is also the greatest common divisor of 35 and 500.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 35/500 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 35/5 = 7
Denominator: 500/5 = 100
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
35/500 to the simplest form is:
7/100
