Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 48/722 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 48 and 722.
To find the greatest common divisor of 48 and 722, 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 722 (1, 2, 19, 38, 361, 722) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 48 and 722, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 48 and 722.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 48/722 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 48/2 = 24
Denominator: 722/2 = 361
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
48/722 to the simplest form is:
24/361
