Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 4/196 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 4 and 196.
To find the greatest common divisor of 4 and 196, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 4 (1, 2, 4) and 196 (1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 49, 98, 196) we found that 4 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 4 is the largest common factor of 4 and 196, 4 is also the greatest common divisor of 4 and 196.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 4/196 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 4/4 = 1
Denominator: 196/4 = 49
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
4/196 to the simplest form is:
1/49
