Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 8/494 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 494.
To find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 494, 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 494 (1, 2, 13, 19, 26, 38, 247, 494) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 8 and 494, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 8 and 494.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 8/494 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 8/2 = 4
Denominator: 494/2 = 247
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
8/494 to the simplest form is:
4/247
