Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 6/972 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 972.
To find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 972, 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 972 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972) we found that 6 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 6 is the largest common factor of 6 and 972, 6 is also the greatest common divisor of 6 and 972.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 6/972 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 6/6 = 1
Denominator: 972/6 = 162
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
6/972 to the simplest form is:
1/162
