Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 46/324 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 46 and 324.
To find the greatest common divisor of 46 and 324, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 46 (1, 2, 23, 46) and 324 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 324) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 46 and 324, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 46 and 324.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 46/324 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 46/2 = 23
Denominator: 324/2 = 162
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
46/324 to the simplest form is:
23/162
