Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 8/740 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 740.
To find the greatest common divisor of 8 and 740, 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 740 (1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 37, 74, 148, 185, 370, 740) we found that 4 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 4 is the largest common factor of 8 and 740, 4 is also the greatest common divisor of 8 and 740.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 8/740 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 8/4 = 2
Denominator: 740/4 = 185
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
8/740 to the simplest form is:
2/185
