Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 38/342 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 38 and 342.
To find the greatest common divisor of 38 and 342, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 38 (1, 2, 19, 38) and 342 (1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342) we found that 38 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 38 is the largest common factor of 38 and 342, 38 is also the greatest common divisor of 38 and 342.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 38/342 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 38/38 = 1
Denominator: 342/38 = 9
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
38/342 to the simplest form is:
1/9
