Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 71/568 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 71 and 568.
To find the greatest common divisor of 71 and 568, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 71 (1, 71) and 568 (1, 2, 4, 8, 71, 142, 284, 568) we found that 71 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 71 is the largest common factor of 71 and 568, 71 is also the greatest common divisor of 71 and 568.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 71/568 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
