Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 6/21 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 21.
To find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 21, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 6 (1, 2, 3, 6) and 21 (1, 3, 7, 21) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 6 and 21, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 6 and 21.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 6/21 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 6/3 = 2
Denominator: 21/3 = 7
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
6/21 to the simplest form is:
2/7
