Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 100 and 120 equals 20, GCF(100, 120) = 20
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
120/100
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 100 and 120 equals 20, GCF(100, 120) = 20
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
120/100
= 120 ÷ 20/100 ÷ 20
= 6/5
(1 is the only factor common to 6 and 5)Therefore, 120/100
is equal to 6/5
in Simplest Form: 120/100
= 6/5
Note: 6/5
is an improper fraction, and as a mixed number, 6/5
= 11/5
