Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 7/378 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 7 and 378.
To find the greatest common divisor of 7 and 378, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 7 (1, 7) and 378 (1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 27, 42, 54, 63, 126, 189, 378) we found that 7 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 7 is the largest common factor of 7 and 378, 7 is also the greatest common divisor of 7 and 378.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 7/378 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 7/7 = 1
Denominator: 378/7 = 54
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
7/378 to the simplest form is:
1/54
