Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 9/378 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 9 and 378.
To find the greatest common divisor of 9 and 378, 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 378 (1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 27, 42, 54, 63, 126, 189, 378) we found that 9 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 9 is the largest common factor of 9 and 378, 9 is also the greatest common divisor of 9 and 378.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 9/378 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 9/9 = 1
Denominator: 378/9 = 42
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
9/378 to the simplest form is:
1/42
