Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 56/952 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 56 and 952.
To find the greatest common divisor of 56 and 952, 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 952 (1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 17, 28, 34, 56, 68, 119, 136, 238, 476, 952) we found that 56 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 56 is the largest common factor of 56 and 952, 56 is also the greatest common divisor of 56 and 952.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 56/952 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 56/56 = 1
Denominator: 952/56 = 17
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
56/952 to the simplest form is:
1/17
