Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 4/842 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 4 and 842.
To find the greatest common divisor of 4 and 842, 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 842 (1, 2, 421, 842) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 4 and 842, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 4 and 842.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 4/842 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 4/2 = 2
Denominator: 842/2 = 421
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
4/842 to the simplest form is:
2/421
