Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 63/231 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 63 and 231.
To find the greatest common divisor of 63 and 231, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 63 (1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 63) and 231 (1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 77, 231) we found that 21 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 21 is the largest common factor of 63 and 231, 21 is also the greatest common divisor of 63 and 231.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 63/231 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 63/21 = 3
Denominator: 231/21 = 11
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
63/231 to the simplest form is:
3/11
