Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 65/520 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 65 and 520.
To find the greatest common divisor of 65 and 520, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 65 (1, 5, 13, 65) and 520 (1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 260, 520) we found that 65 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 65 is the largest common factor of 65 and 520, 65 is also the greatest common divisor of 65 and 520.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 65/520 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 65/65 = 1
Denominator: 520/65 = 8
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
65/520 to the simplest form is:
1/8
