Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 87/957 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 87 and 957.
To find the greatest common divisor of 87 and 957, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 87 (1, 3, 29, 87) and 957 (1, 3, 11, 29, 33, 87, 319, 957) we found that 87 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 87 is the largest common factor of 87 and 957, 87 is also the greatest common divisor of 87 and 957.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 87/957 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 87/87 = 1
Denominator: 957/87 = 11
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
87/957 to the simplest form is:
1/11
