Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 25/995 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 25 and 995.
To find the greatest common divisor of 25 and 995, 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 995 (1, 5, 199, 995) we found that 5 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 5 is the largest common factor of 25 and 995, 5 is also the greatest common divisor of 25 and 995.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 25/995 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 25/5 = 5
Denominator: 995/5 = 199
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
25/995 to the simplest form is:
