Question

62\100
simplest form

45\100
simplest form

Answer 1

62/100 = 31/50

45/100 = 9/20

Explanation:

62 and 100 have a greatest common factor of 2. We can use this to break the fraction 62/100 apart:

`(62)/(100)=(2*31)/(2*50)=(2)/(2)*(31)/(50)=(31)/(50)`

We can do the same to simplify 45/100. The greatest common factor of 45 and 100 is 5, so following the same process:

`(45)/(100)=(5*9)/(5*20)=(5)/(5)*(9)/(20)=(9)/(20)`

Answer 2

62/100= 31/50

45/100= 9/20
