Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 5 and 50 equals 5, GCF(5, 50) = 5
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
5/50
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 5 and 50 equals 5, GCF(5, 50) = 5
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
5/50
= 5 ÷ 5/50 ÷ 5
= 1/10
(1 is the only factor common to 1 and 10)Therefore, 5/50
is equal to 1/10
in Simplest Form: 5/50
