Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 6/261 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 261.
To find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 261, 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 261 (1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 6 and 261, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 6 and 261.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 6/261 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 6/3 = 2
Denominator: 261/3 = 87
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
6/261 to the simplest form is:
2/87
