Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 54/862 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 54 and 862.
To find the greatest common divisor of 54 and 862, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 54 (1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54) and 862 (1, 2, 431, 862) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 54 and 862, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 54 and 862.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 54/862 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 54/2 = 27
Denominator: 862/2 = 431
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
54/862 to the simplest form is:
27/431
