Integer numbers prime factorization:
26 = 2 * 13;
50 = 2 * 52;
Take all the common prime factors, by the lowest powers.Greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), gcf, gcd:
gcf, gcd (26; 50) = 2;
Step 2: Divide fraction's both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (divisor), gcf (gcd).
26/50 = (2 * 13)/(2 * 52) = ((2 * 13) : 2) / ((2 * 52) : 2) = 13/52 = 13/25
Step 3: Rewrite the end result:13 : 25 = 0.52 as a decimal number.Final answer
:: written in two ways ::As a proper fraction (ordinary, common):
26/50 = 13/25; As a decimal number:
26/50 = 0.52
