Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 91/7 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 91 and 7.
To find the greatest common divisor of 91 and 7, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 91 (1, 7, 13, 91) and 7 (1, 7) we found that 7 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 7 is the largest common factor of 91 and 7, 7 is also the greatest common divisor of 91 and 7.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 91/7 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 91/7 = 13
Denominator: 7/7 = 1
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get 13/1.
13/1 is an improper fraction, which means we have to simplify further.
13 divided by 1 is 13, so the answer is:
13
The answer here happened to be a whole number, so you also could have simply divided 91 by 7 to get the same answer.
