Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 56/864 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 56 and 864.
To find the greatest common divisor of 56 and 864, 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 864 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 32, 36, 48, 54, 72, 96, 108, 144, 216, 288, 432, 864) we found that 8 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 8 is the largest common factor of 56 and 864, 8 is also the greatest common divisor of 56 and 864.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 56/864 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 56/8 = 7
Denominator: 864/8 = 108
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
56/864 to the simplest form is:
7/108
