Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 9/462 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 9 and 462.
To find the greatest common divisor of 9 and 462, 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 462 (1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 14, 21, 22, 33, 42, 66, 77, 154, 231, 462) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 9 and 462, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 9 and 462.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 9/462 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 9/3 = 3
Denominator: 462/3 = 154
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
9/462 to the simplest form is:
3/154
