2006-09-13 14:53:31 · 16 answers · asked by La Eztrellita 1 in Education & Reference ➔ Homework Help
Divide 625 by 5 = 125
1000 divided by 5 = 200
125 divided by 5 = 25
200 divided by 5 = 40
25 divided by 5 = 5
40 divided by 5 = 8
Your answer is 5/8
(I stink at math - My daughter is in 8th grade and gave me the answer :))

divide 1000 by 625. or find a common number that will divide into both, like 125. 625/1000=5/8

Keep dividing numerator and denominator by common divisors until you can't reduce the fraction any further. As a starting point, try 25.
625/1000 = 25/40 = 5/8

you simplify, so you find a number they both divide by, try 4 for ex. 1ooo/4= 250 625/4=??? just keep doing that till you cant do no more, with different numbers obviously but if it cant divide evenly, dont do it

Divide both numbers by the greatest common factor. Do this until the number is a small fraction.
