53/74 × 71/53 = ? Multiply the Common (Ordinary) Fractions, Online Calculator. Multiplication Operation Explained Step by Step

The numerators and the denominators of the fractions are multiplied separately

These fractions reduce each other:

They have numerators and denominators of equal values.

The fractions: 53/74 × 71/53 = 71/74

Simplify the operation

Reduce (simplify) the fractions to their lowest terms equivalents:

To fully reduce a fraction, to the lowest terms equivalent: divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF.


* By reducing the values of the numerators and the denominators of the fractions the calculations are easier to make.


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.


* In order to easily reduce a fraction, factor its numerator and denominator. This way all the common prime factors are easily identified and crossed out, without calculating the GCF.


71/74 is already reduced to the lowest terms.


The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors.


Their prime factorization:
71 is a prime number (it cannot be factored into other prime factors)
74 = 2 × 37


Rewrite the fraction

As a decimal number:

Simply divide the numerator by the denominator, without a remainder, as shown below:


71/74 =


71 ÷ 74 ≈


0.959459459459 ≈


0.96

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.


0.959459459459 =


0.959459459459 × 100/100 =


(0.959459459459 × 100)/100 =


95.945945945946/100


95.945945945946% ≈


95.95%



The final answer:
written in three ways

As a positive proper fraction:
(the numerator < the denominator)
53/74 × 71/53 = 71/74

As a decimal number:
53/74 × 71/53 ≈ 0.96

As a percentage:
53/74 × 71/53 ≈ 95.95%
