Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

500,096/100,000 =

(27 × 3,907)/(25 × 55) =

((27 × 3,907) ÷ 25) / ((25 × 55) ÷ 25) =

(22 × 3,907)/55 =

15,628/3,125


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.

15,628 ÷ 3,125 = 5, remainder = 3 ⇒

15,628 = 5 × 3,125 + 3 ⇒

15,628/3,125 =

(5 × 3,125 + 3) / 3,125 =

(5 × 3,125) / 3,125 + 3/3,125 =

5 + 3/3,125 =

5 3/3,125
