Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 40/562 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 40 and 562.
To find the greatest common divisor of 40 and 562, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 40 (1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40) and 562 (1, 2, 281, 562) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 40 and 562, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 40 and 562.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 40/562 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 40/2 = 20
Denominator: 562/2 = 281
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
40/562 to the simplest form is:
20/281
