Hello there.
Question: 250% as a fraction
Answer: Step 1: Factor both the numerator and denominator down to prime factors:
250 = 2 * 53
100 = 22 * 52
Step 2: Calculate the greatest common factor, GCF
GCF = (2 * 53; 22 * 52) = 2 * 52
Step 3: Divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, 250/100 =
(2 * 53)/(22 * 52) =
((2 * 53) : (2 * 52)) / ((22 * 52) : (2 * 52)) =
5/2
Ways of writing this:
Positive improper fraction:
250/100 = 5/2
Mixed number (also called mixed fraction):
250/100 = 2 1/2
