Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 48/124 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 48 and 124.
To find the greatest common divisor of 48 and 124, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 48 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48) and 124 (1, 2, 4, 31, 62, 124) we found that 4 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 4 is the largest common factor of 48 and 124, 4 is also the greatest common divisor of 48 and 124.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 48/124 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 48/4 = 12
Denominator: 124/4 = 31
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
48/124 to the simplest form is:
12/31
