Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 74/407 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 74 and 407.
To find the greatest common divisor of 74 and 407, 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 407 (1, 11, 37, 407) we found that 37 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 37 is the largest common factor of 74 and 407, 37 is also the greatest common divisor of 74 and 407.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 74/407 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 74/37 = 2
Denominator: 407/37 = 11
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
74/407 to the simplest form is:
2/11
