Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 8/342 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 342.
To find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 342, 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 342 (1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 8 and 342, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 8 and 342.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 8/342 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 8/2 = 4
Denominator: 342/2 = 171
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
8/342 to the simplest form is:
4/171
