Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 4/486 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 4 and 486.
To find the greatest common divisor of 4 and 486, 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 486 (1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162, 243, 486) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 4 and 486, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 4 and 486.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 4/486 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 4/2 = 2
Denominator: 486/2 = 243
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
4/486 to the simplest form is:
2/243
