Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 45/445 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 45 and 445.
To find the greatest common divisor of 45 and 445, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 45 (1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45) and 445 (1, 5, 89, 445) we found that 5 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 5 is the largest common factor of 45 and 445, 5 is also the greatest common divisor of 45 and 445.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 45/445 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 45/5 = 9
Denominator: 445/5 = 89
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
45/445 to the simplest form is:
9/89
