Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 42/630 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 42 and 630.
To find the greatest common divisor of 42 and 630, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 42 (1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42) and 630 (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 14, 15, 18, 21, 30, 35, 42, 45, 63, 70, 90, 105, 126, 210, 315, 630) we found that 42 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 42 is the largest common factor of 42 and 630, 42 is also the greatest common divisor of 42 and 630.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 42/630 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 42/42 = 1
Denominator: 630/42 = 15
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
42/630 to the simplest form is:
1/15
