Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 82/252 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 82 and 252.
To find the greatest common divisor of 82 and 252, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 82 (1, 2, 41, 82) and 252 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 82 and 252, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 82 and 252.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 82/252 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 82/2 = 41
Denominator: 252/2 = 126
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
82/252 to the simplest form is:
41/126
