Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 8/74 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 74.
To find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 74, 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 74 (1, 2, 37, 74) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 8 and 74, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 8 and 74.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 8/74 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 8/2 = 4
Denominator: 74/2 = 37
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
8/74 to the simplest form is:
4/37
