Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 8/336 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 336.
To find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 336, 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 336 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 42, 48, 56, 84, 112, 168, 336) we found that 8 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 8 is the largest common factor of 8 and 336, 8 is also the greatest common divisor of 8 and 336.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 8/336 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 8/8 = 1
Denominator: 336/8 = 42
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
8/336 to the simplest form is:
1/42
