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