Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 5/750 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 5 and 750.
To find the greatest common divisor of 5 and 750, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 5 (1, 5) and 750 (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 75, 125, 150, 250, 375, 750) we found that 5 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 5 is the largest common factor of 5 and 750, 5 is also the greatest common divisor of 5 and 750.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 5/750 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 5/5 = 1
Denominator: 750/5 = 150
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
5/750 to the simplest form is:
1/150
