Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 78/716 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 78 and 716.
To find the greatest common divisor of 78 and 716, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 78 (1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 78) and 716 (1, 2, 4, 179, 358, 716) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 78 and 716, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 78 and 716.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 78/716 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 78/2 = 39
Denominator: 716/2 = 358
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
78/716 to the simplest form is:
39/358
