Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 60/298 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 60 and 298.
To find the greatest common divisor of 60 and 298, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 60 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60) and 298 (1, 2, 149, 298) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 60 and 298, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 60 and 298.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 60/298 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 60/2 = 30
Denominator: 298/2 = 149
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
60/298 to the simplest form is:
30/149
