Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 58/840 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 58 and 840.
To find the greatest common divisor of 58 and 840, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 58 (1, 2, 29, 58) and 840 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 24, 28, 30, 35, 40, 42, 56, 60, 70, 84, 105, 120, 140, 168, 210, 280, 420, 840) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 58 and 840, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 58 and 840.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 58/840 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 58/2 = 29
Denominator: 840/2 = 420
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
58/840 to the simplest form is:
29/420
