72.75% =
72.75 /100
Clear the decimal in the numerator:
Multiply numerator and denominator by 100 (102) since there are 2 digits to the right of the decimal point in 72.75
72.75/100
= 72.75 * 100/100 * 100
= 7,275/10,000
Simplify
7,275/10,000
if possible:Greatest Common Factor of 7,275 and 10,000: GCF(7,275, 10,000) = 25
7,275/10,000
= 7,275 ÷ 25/10,000 ÷ 25
= 291/400
in simplest formTherefore, 72.75% converted to a fraction: 72.75% =
291/400
