Step-by-step solution
3 stepsIdentify the fraction.
The problem asks for the actual value of the expression . This means simplifying the fraction to its lowest terms.
Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator.
First, find the prime factorization of the numerator, 882:
So, the prime factorization of 882 is .
Next, find the prime factorization of the denominator, 922:
To check if 461 is prime, we test divisibility by prime numbers up to .
Prime numbers to check: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19.- 461 is not divisible by 2 (it's odd).
- , which is not divisible by 3.
- 461 does not end in 0 or 5, so it's not divisible by 5.
- with a remainder of 6.
- with a remainder of 10.
- with a remainder of 6.
- with a remainder of 2.
- with a remainder of 5. Since 461 is not divisible by any prime number up to its square root, 461 is a prime number. So, the prime factorization of 922 is .
The common factor between 882 and 922 is 2. Therefore, the GCD(882, 922) = 2.
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD.
The fraction is now in its simplest form because 441 and 461 have no common factors other than 1.
The actual value of is .
