Open in App

Solution

To convert given ratio $a : b$ to his simplest form, we divide each term by the $H C F$ of $a$ and $b$

$∴ 777 : 1147$
$= \frac{777}{1147}$
$= \frac{777 \div 37}{1147 \div 37} [∵ H C F$ of $777$ and $1147$ is $37]$
$= \frac{21}{31}$
Hence, the simplest form of $777 : 1147$ is $21 : 31$
