Find the the simplest form of 325/1000

Sagot :

[tex]as\ decimal:\frac{325}{1000}=0.325\\=====================\\divide\ the\ numerator\ and\ the\ denominator\ by\ 25:\\\\325:25=13\\1000:25=40\\\\therefore\ \frac{325}{1000}=\frac{13}{40}[/tex]
First, find the GCF, or greatest common factor, of the numerator and denominator. If one number ends in 25 and the other ends in 00, then a factor of both is 25:
325/25 = 13
1000/25 = 40 
Our new fraction is 13/40, and, seeing as that has a prime number, 13, it cannot be simplified, so that is the final answer.
Hope this helps!
