Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 8/524 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 524.
To find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 524, 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 524 (1, 2, 4, 131, 262, 524) we found that 4 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 4 is the largest common factor of 8 and 524, 4 is also the greatest common divisor of 8 and 524.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 8/524 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 8/4 = 2
Denominator: 524/4 = 131
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
8/524 to the simplest form is:
2/131
