Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 4/742 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 4 and 742.
To find the greatest common divisor of 4 and 742, 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 742 (1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, 742) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 4 and 742, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 4 and 742.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 4/742 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 4/2 = 2
Denominator: 742/2 = 371
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
4/742 to the simplest form is:
2/371
