Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 50/480 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 50 and 480.
To find the greatest common divisor of 50 and 480, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 50 (1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50) and 480 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 80, 96, 120, 160, 240, 480) we found that 10 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 10 is the largest common factor of 50 and 480, 10 is also the greatest common divisor of 50 and 480.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 50/480 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 50/10 = 5
Denominator: 480/10 = 48
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
50/480 to the simplest form is:
5/48
