Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (22 × 43 × 149; 23 × 53) = 22


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


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

25,628/1,000 =

(22 × 43 × 149)/(23 × 53) =

((22 × 43 × 149) ÷ 22) / ((23 × 53) ÷ 22) =

(43 × 149)/(2 × 53) =

6,407/250


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.

6,407 ÷ 250 = 25, remainder = 157 ⇒

6,407 = 25 × 250 + 157 ⇒

6,407/250 =

(25 × 250 + 157) / 250 =

(25 × 250) / 250 + 157/250 =

25 + 157/250 =

25 157/250
