Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 39/156 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 39 and 156.
To find the greatest common divisor of 39 and 156, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 39 (1, 3, 13, 39) and 156 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156) we found that 39 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 39 is the largest common factor of 39 and 156, 39 is also the greatest common divisor of 39 and 156.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 39/156 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 39/39 = 1
Denominator: 156/39 = 4
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
39/156 to the simplest form is:
1/4
