Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 9/480 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 9 and 480.
To find the greatest common divisor of 9 and 480, 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 480 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 80, 96, 120, 160, 240, 480) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 9 and 480, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 9 and 480.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 9/480 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 9/3 = 3
Denominator: 480/3 = 160
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
9/480 to the simplest form is:
3/160
