Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 74/364 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 74 and 364.
To find the greatest common divisor of 74 and 364, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 74 (1, 2, 37, 74) and 364 (1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 14, 26, 28, 52, 91, 182, 364) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 74 and 364, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 74 and 364.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 74/364 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 74/2 = 37
Denominator: 364/2 = 182
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
74/364 to the simplest form is:
37/182
