Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 77/126 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 77 and 126.
To find the greatest common divisor of 77 and 126, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 77 (1, 7, 11, 77) and 126 (1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 42, 63, 126) we found that 7 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 7 is the largest common factor of 77 and 126, 7 is also the greatest common divisor of 77 and 126.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 77/126 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 77/7 = 11
Denominator: 126/7 = 18
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
77/126 to the simplest form is:
11/18
