Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 8/560 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 560.
To find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 560, 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 560 (1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 16, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 80, 112, 140, 280, 560) we found that 8 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 8 is the largest common factor of 8 and 560, 8 is also the greatest common divisor of 8 and 560.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 8/560 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 8/8 = 1
Denominator: 560/8 = 70
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
8/560 to the simplest form is:
1/70
