Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 4/990 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 4 and 990.
To find the greatest common divisor of 4 and 990, 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 990 (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 15, 18, 22, 30, 33, 45, 55, 66, 90, 99, 110, 165, 198, 330, 495, 990) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 4 and 990, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 4 and 990.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 4/990 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 4/2 = 2
Denominator: 990/2 = 495
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
4/990 to the simplest form is:
2/495
