Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 6/24 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 24.
To find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 24, 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 24 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24) we found that 6 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 6 is the largest common factor of 6 and 24, 6 is also the greatest common divisor of 6 and 24.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 6/24 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 6/6 = 1
Denominator: 24/6 = 4
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
6/24 to the simplest form is:
1/4
