Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 50/685 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 50 and 685.
To find the greatest common divisor of 50 and 685, 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 685 (1, 5, 137, 685) we found that 5 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 5 is the largest common factor of 50 and 685, 5 is also the greatest common divisor of 50 and 685.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 50/685 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 50/5 = 10
Denominator: 685/5 = 137
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
50/685 to the simplest form is:
10/137
