Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (5 × 3,467; 23 × 53) = 5


» Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF, online calculator


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

17,335/1,000 =

(5 × 3,467)/(23 × 53) =

((5 × 3,467) ÷ 5) / ((23 × 53) ÷ 5) =

3,467/(23 × 52) =

3,467/200


4. The fraction is an improper one, rewrite it as a mixed number (mixed fraction):

  • A mixed number = an integer number and a proper fraction, of the same sign.
  • Example 1: 2 1/5; Example 2: - 1 3/7.
  • A proper fraction = the numerator is smaller than the denominator.

3,467 ÷ 200 = 17, remainder = 67 ⇒

3,467 = 17 × 200 + 67 ⇒

3,467/200 =

(17 × 200 + 67) / 200 =

(17 × 200) / 200 + 67/200 =

17 + 67/200 =

17 67/200
