Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 8/116 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 116.
To find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 116, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 8 (1, 2, 4, 8) and 116 (1, 2, 4, 29, 58, 116) we found that 4 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 4 is the largest common factor of 8 and 116, 4 is also the greatest common divisor of 8 and 116.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 8/116 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 8/4 = 2
Denominator: 116/4 = 29
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
8/116 to the simplest form is:
2/29
