Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 5 and 100 equals 5, GCF(5, 100) = 5
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
5/100
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 5 and 100 equals 5, GCF(5, 100) = 5
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
5/100
= 5 ÷ 5/100 ÷ 5
= 1/20
(1 is the only factor common to 1 and 20)Therefore, 5/100
is equal to 1/20
in Simplest Form: 5/100
= 1/20
