Question

Change 116% into a fraction and simplify

Answer 1

116% is the same as saying 116/100.
The highest common factor of 116 and 100 is 4.
116 divided by 4 is 29
100 divided by 4 is 25
So it is 29/25.
To put it into a mixed number, it could be 1 and 4/25.

Answer 2

Remember that percent just means "out of 100", so 116% is 116 out of 100:


`(116)/(100)`

To simplify, you just divide each number by numbers that go into each:


`(116)/(100)/(4)/(4)=(29)/(25)`

So, 116% in simplified fraction form is 29/25.
