Question

express ratio 44 : 121 in the simplest form

Answer 1

both numbers so we can compare the lists.

When we compared the factors of 44 (1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44) and 121 (1, 11, 121) we found that 11 is the largest factor that they have in common.

Since 11 is the largest common factor of 44 and 121, 11 is also the greatest common divisor of 44 and 121.

Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 44/121 by the greatest common divisor as follows:

Numerator: 44/11 = 4

Denominator: 121/11 = 11

Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer. 44/121 to the simplest form is:

4/11
