Question

find the simplest form of 561/748

Answer 1

Integer numbers prime factorization: 
561 = 3 × 11 × 17; 
748 = 22 × 11 × 17;Take all the common prime factors, by the lowest exponents.Greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), gcf, gcd: 
gcf, gcd (561; 748) = 11 × 17 = 187;Divide fraction's both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (divisor), gcf (gcd).561/748 =(3 × 11 × 17)/(22 × 11 × 17) =((3 × 11 × 17) ÷ (11 × 17)) / ((22 × 11 × 17) ÷ (11 × 17)) =3/22 =3/4Rewrite the end result:3 ÷ 4 = 0.75 as a decimal number.Final answer: 
:: written in two ways ::As a proper fraction 
(numerator smaller than denominator): 
561/748 = 3/4As a decimal number: 
561/748 = 0.75
