Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 6/858 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 858.
To find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 858, 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 858 (1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 13, 22, 26, 33, 39, 66, 78, 143, 286, 429, 858) we found that 6 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 6 is the largest common factor of 6 and 858, 6 is also the greatest common divisor of 6 and 858.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 6/858 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 6/6 = 1
Denominator: 858/6 = 143
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
6/858 to the simplest form is:
1/143
