Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 8/318 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 318.
To find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 318, 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 318 (1, 2, 3, 6, 53, 106, 159, 318) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 8 and 318, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 8 and 318.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 8/318 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 8/2 = 4
Denominator: 318/2 = 159
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
8/318 to the simplest form is:
4/159
