Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 48/723 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 48 and 723.
To find the greatest common divisor of 48 and 723, 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 723 (1, 3, 241, 723) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 48 and 723, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 48 and 723.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 48/723 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 48/3 = 16
Denominator: 723/3 = 241
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
48/723 to the simplest form is:
16/241
