Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 9/996 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 9 and 996.
To find the greatest common divisor of 9 and 996, 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 996 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 83, 166, 249, 332, 498, 996) we found that 3 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 3 is the largest common factor of 9 and 996, 3 is also the greatest common divisor of 9 and 996.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 9/996 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 9/3 = 3
Denominator: 996/3 = 332
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
9/996 to the simplest form is:
3/332
