Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 6/656 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 656.
To find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 656, 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 656 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 41, 82, 164, 328, 656) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 6 and 656, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 6 and 656.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 6/656 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 6/2 = 3
Denominator: 656/2 = 328
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
6/656 to the simplest form is:
3/328
