Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 5/950 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 5 and 950.
To find the greatest common divisor of 5 and 950, 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 950 (1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 190, 475, 950) we found that 5 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 5 is the largest common factor of 5 and 950, 5 is also the greatest common divisor of 5 and 950.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 5/950 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 5/5 = 1
Denominator: 950/5 = 190
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
5/950 to the simplest form is:
1/190
