Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 8/396 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 396.
To find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 396, 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 396 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 22, 33, 36, 44, 66, 99, 132, 198, 396) we found that 4 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 4 is the largest common factor of 8 and 396, 4 is also the greatest common divisor of 8 and 396.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 8/396 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 8/4 = 2
Denominator: 396/4 = 99
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
8/396 to the simplest form is:
2/99
