Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 38/496 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 38 and 496.
To find the greatest common divisor of 38 and 496, 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 496 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248, 496) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 38 and 496, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 38 and 496.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 38/496 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 38/2 = 19
Denominator: 496/2 = 248
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
38/496 to the simplest form is:
19/248
