How to simplify 3/50?

Simplifying a fraction (reducing it to the lowest terms), such as 3/50, means expressing the same value more clearly and concisely.

Step-by-step simplification of 3/50

  1. Start with computing the GCD of 3 and 50: GCD(3, 50) = 1.
  2. Divide the numerator by the GCD: 3/1 = 3
  3. Divide the denominator by the GCD: 50/1 = 50
  4. Combine these results to form the new simplified fraction: 3/50

The final result is: 3 50 = 3 50

Since the GCD is equal to 1, the fraction was already in its simplest form and couldn't be further reduced.
