Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 25/100 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 25 and 100.
To find the greatest common divisor of 25 and 100, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 25 (1, 5, 25) and 100 (1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100) we found that 25 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 25 is the largest common factor of 25 and 100, 25 is also the greatest common divisor of 25 and 100.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 25/100 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 25/25 = 1
Denominator: 100/25 = 4
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
25/100 to the simplest form is:
1/4
