Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 52/430 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 52 and 430.
To find the greatest common divisor of 52 and 430, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 52 (1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52) and 430 (1, 2, 5, 10, 43, 86, 215, 430) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 52 and 430, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 52 and 430.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 52/430 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 52/2 = 26
Denominator: 430/2 = 215
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
52/430 to the simplest form is:
26/215
