Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 4/286 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 4 and 286.
To find the greatest common divisor of 4 and 286, 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 286 (1, 2, 11, 13, 22, 26, 143, 286) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 4 and 286, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 4 and 286.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 4/286 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 4/2 = 2
Denominator: 286/2 = 143
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
4/286 to the simplest form is:
2/143
