1225/350 is like doing 1225÷350. You have 3 counts of 350 and a remainder of 175 in 1225. So the answer is 3 and 1/2.

Can you see that both 1225 and 350 are divisible by 25?
So divide each one by 25: 1225 / 350 = 49 / 14
Now both of these are divisible by 7 (can you see it?).
So: 1225 / 350 = 49 / 14 = 7 / 2
(You could also have start by dividing 1225 and 350 just by 5)

1225/350 is 3.5, or 3 and 1/2. I hope I helped!
If you don't want a mixed fraction it adds up to
3*2 is 6
6/2+1/2 is 7/2.

1225/350
Take small steps. First, any number ending in 5 or 0 is divisible by 5
Divide both numerator and denominator by 5
245/70
Divide both numerator and denominator by 5 again
49/14
Do 49 and 14 have a common factor - yes, 7
7/2
This is called an improper fraction because the numerator is larger than the denominator. Dividing 7 by 2 gives us a mixed number
7/2 = 3 1/2

Find the common denominator and divide each term by it...In this case 35...
1225/350 = 35/10 = 7/2

Hi. A fraction is really a division problem. Just keep dividing until you can't divide any more. 1225/350 will reduce to ... you do it.

1225/350. I would go with the obvious factors first. To me, they obviously are both divisible by 5.
1225 /5 = 245 and 350 / 5 = 70
So you end up with 245/70, again divide both by 5
245/5 = 49 and 70/5 = 14
So you end up with 49/14
These are both divisible by 7
49/7=7 and 14/7 = 2
so you end up with 7/2.
Now simplify. 7/2 = 3 with 1 left over, so 3 1/2.

Are you asking 350/1225? if so, it is easy since 1225=35^2
350/1225=10/35=2/7

Actually you dont't need to reduce it you need to change it to a Mixed Number, then reduce. 1225/350 is a Improper Fraction.

find the LCM(Least Common Multiple) then divide both numbers by the LCM. In this case the answer is 7/2 or 3 and 1/2.
