Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 5/780 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 5 and 780.
To find the greatest common divisor of 5 and 780, 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 780 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 13, 15, 20, 26, 30, 39, 52, 60, 65, 78, 130, 156, 195, 260, 390, 780) we found that 5 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 5 is the largest common factor of 5 and 780, 5 is also the greatest common divisor of 5 and 780.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 5/780 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 5/5 = 1
Denominator: 780/5 = 156
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
5/780 to the simplest form is:
1/156
