Simplify the operation
Reduce (simplify) the fractions to their lowest terms equivalents:
- A fully reduced (simplified) fraction is one with the smallest possible numerator and denominator, one that can no longer be reduced, and it is called an irreducible fraction.
- * By reducing the values of the numerators and denominators of fractions, subsequent calculations become easier to perform.
To reduce a fraction to the lowest terms equivalent divide its numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF.
- To calculate the GCF, factor the numerator and denominator of the fraction into prime factors.
- Then multiply all the common prime factors: if there are repeating prime factors we only take them once, and only the ones having the lowest exponents (the lowest powers).
The fraction: 344/236
The prime factorizations of the numerator and denominator:
344 = 23 × 43

* To reduce a fraction without calculating the GCF: factor its numerator and denominator, then all the common prime factors are easily identified and crossed out.

(23 × 43)/(22 × 59) =
((23 × 43) ÷ 22)/((22 × 59) ÷ 22) =

0
As a percentage:
- A percentage value p% is equal to the fraction: p/100, for any decimal number p. So, we need to change the form of the number calculated above, to show a denominator of 100.
- To do that, multiply the number by the fraction 100/100.
- The value of the fraction 100/100 = 1, so by multiplying the number by this fraction the result is not changing, only the form.
- 0.004935625737 =
- 0.004935625737 × 100/100 =
( - 0.004935625737 × 100)/100 =
- 0.493562573659/100 =
- 0.493562573659% ≈
