Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 6/544 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 544.
To find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 544, 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 544 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 32, 34, 68, 136, 272, 544) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 6 and 544, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 6 and 544.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 6/544 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 6/2 = 3
Denominator: 544/2 = 272
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
6/544 to the simplest form is:
3/272
