Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 60/855 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 60 and 855.
To find the greatest common divisor of 60 and 855, 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 855 (1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 19, 45, 57, 95, 171, 285, 855) we found that 15 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 15 is the largest common factor of 60 and 855, 15 is also the greatest common divisor of 60 and 855.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 60/855 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 60/15 = 4
Denominator: 855/15 = 57
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
60/855 to the simplest form is:
4/57
