Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 56/850 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 56 and 850.
To find the greatest common divisor of 56 and 850, 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 850 (1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 25, 34, 50, 85, 170, 425, 850) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 56 and 850, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 56 and 850.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 56/850 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 56/2 = 28
Denominator: 850/2 = 425
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
56/850 to the simplest form is:
28/425
