Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 70/385 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 70 and 385.
To find the greatest common divisor of 70 and 385, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 70 (1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 70) and 385 (1, 5, 7, 11, 35, 55, 77, 385) we found that 35 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 35 is the largest common factor of 70 and 385, 35 is also the greatest common divisor of 70 and 385.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 70/385 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 70/35 = 2
Denominator: 385/35 = 11
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
70/385 to the simplest form is:
2/11
