Question

Reduce
252/1000

Answer 1

Hi, ok so what is the first step here, DO you know?

Answer 2

Basically to reduce, we want to divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number, so lets start with 2.
252/2 = 126
1000/2 = 500
Our new fraction is 126/500. But this can be simplified farther. What is a common multiple of 126/500?

Answer 5

Ok. So... starting from 252/1000. Our GCF (greatest common factor) is 4. All we need to do is divide by 4.
252/4 = 63
1000/4 = 250
Our final simplified fraction is 63/250.
Hope this helps, PLEASE give me a medal.
