Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 56/182 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 56 and 182.
To find the greatest common divisor of 56 and 182, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 56 (1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56) and 182 (1, 2, 7, 13, 14, 26, 91, 182) we found that 14 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 14 is the largest common factor of 56 and 182, 14 is also the greatest common divisor of 56 and 182.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 56/182 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 56/14 = 4
Denominator: 182/14 = 13
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
56/182 to the simplest form is:
4/13
