Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 6/495 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 495.
To find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 495, 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 495 (1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 15, 33, 45, 55, 99, 165, 495) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 6 and 495, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 6 and 495.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 6/495 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 6/3 = 2
Denominator: 495/3 = 165
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
6/495 to the simplest form is:
2/165
