Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 66/46 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 66 and 46.
To find the greatest common divisor of 66 and 46, we list of all the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 66 (1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66) and 46 (1, 2, 23, 46) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 66 and 46, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 66 and 46.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 66/46 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 66/2 = 33
Denominator: 46/2 = 23
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get 33/23.
33/23 is an improper fraction, which means we have to simplify further.
23 goes 1 time into 33 with 10 remaining, and you therefore get the answer as follows:
1 10/23
