Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 39/432 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 39 and 432.
To find the greatest common divisor of 39 and 432, 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 432 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 54, 72, 108, 144, 216, 432) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 39 and 432, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 39 and 432.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 39/432 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 39/3 = 13
Denominator: 432/3 = 144
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
39/432 to the simplest form is:
13/144
