Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 63/492 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 63 and 492.
To find the greatest common divisor of 63 and 492, 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 492 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 492) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 63 and 492, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 63 and 492.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 63/492 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 63/3 = 21
Denominator: 492/3 = 164
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
63/492 to the simplest form is:
21/164
