Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 6/240 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 240.
To find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 240, 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 240 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240) we found that 6 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 6 is the largest common factor of 6 and 240, 6 is also the greatest common divisor of 6 and 240.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 6/240 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 6/6 = 1
Denominator: 240/6 = 40
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
6/240 to the simplest form is:
1/40
