Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 45/950 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 45 and 950.
To find the greatest common divisor of 45 and 950, 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 950 (1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 190, 475, 950) we found that 5 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 5 is the largest common factor of 45 and 950, 5 is also the greatest common divisor of 45 and 950.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 45/950 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 45/5 = 9
Denominator: 950/5 = 190
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
45/950 to the simplest form is:
9/190
