Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 9/87 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 9 and 87.
To find the greatest common divisor of 9 and 87, 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 87 (1, 3, 29, 87) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 9 and 87, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 9 and 87.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 9/87 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 9/3 = 3
Denominator: 87/3 = 29
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
9/87 to the simplest form is:
3/29
