Simplifying 2/25

How to reduce 2/25 to its simplest form

To simplify 2/25 we have to divide both numerator (2) and denominator (25) by their greatest common factor (GCF). In other words, writing a fraction in its simplest form means that both numerator and denominator can no longer be divided by the same whole number other than 1.
