Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 9/45 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 9 and 45.
To find the greatest common divisor of 9 and 45, 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 45 (1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45) we found that 9 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 9 is the largest common factor of 9 and 45, 9 is also the greatest common divisor of 9 and 45.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 9/45 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 9/9 = 1
Denominator: 45/9 = 5
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
9/45 to the simplest form is:
1/5
