Question

What is 4375/10000 in simplest form

Answer 1

7 / 16

Explanation:

There's an awful lot of cancelation that can take place. We need to find the highest common factor.

4375: 5 * 5 * 5* 5 * 7

10000: 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

The common factors are 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 = 625

So you have 4375 ÷ 625 = 7

10000 / 625 = 16

Answer 7/16
