Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 6/988 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 988.
To find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 988, 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 988 (1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 6 and 988, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 6 and 988.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 6/988 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 6/2 = 3
Denominator: 988/2 = 494
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
6/988 to the simplest form is:
3/494
