Simplest Form of

-8/100

Given Fraction:  
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 8 and 100 equals 4, GCF(8, 100) = 4
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
= =  (1 is the only factor common to 2 and 25)Therefore,  

-8/100

is equal to

-2/25

in Simplest Form:  

-8/100

=

-2/25

Note: Since the |-8| = 8, the GCF(-8, 100) = GCF(8, 100)
