Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 45/960 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 45 and 960.
To find the greatest common divisor of 45 and 960, 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 960 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320, 480, 960) we found that 15 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 15 is the largest common factor of 45 and 960, 15 is also the greatest common divisor of 45 and 960.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 45/960 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 45/15 = 3
Denominator: 960/15 = 64
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
45/960 to the simplest form is:
3/64
