Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 36/400 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 36 and 400.
To find the greatest common divisor of 36 and 400, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 36 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36) and 400 (1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 200, 400) we found that 4 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 4 is the largest common factor of 36 and 400, 4 is also the greatest common divisor of 36 and 400.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 36/400 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 36/4 = 9
Denominator: 400/4 = 100
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
36/400 to the simplest form is:
9/100
