Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 68/402 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 68 and 402.
To find the greatest common divisor of 68 and 402, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 68 (1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68) and 402 (1, 2, 3, 6, 67, 134, 201, 402) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 68 and 402, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 68 and 402.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 68/402 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 68/2 = 34
Denominator: 402/2 = 201
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
68/402 to the simplest form is:
34/201
