I guess what I am trying to say is.... you have 425 and 604 as a ratio. For example: you have 604 repair calls and you only make 425 repairs. How can you simplify that? Or even better make into a percentage?
2007-01-27 12:59:32 · update #1
425 = 5 x 5 x 17
604 = 2 x 2 x 7 x 23
no common factors
therefore, the fraction you are looking for, 425/604, cannot be simplified.
Use a calculator to work out the percentage
425 divided by 604 multiplied by 100 = 70.364%

When you factor out 425 you get 5*5*13
When you factor out 604 you get 4*151
You won't be able to find any common denomintor unless the factor is 1. Hence the answer is 425*604 = 256,700.

first, find the prime factors of each number:
425 = 5^2 * 17
604 = 2^2 * 151
observe that there are no common terms in the factorizations of the two numbers. this means that the least common denominator will be the product of the two numbers:
425 * 604 = 256700

The lcd in this case is 1. (Since 425=425/1 and 604=604/1)
Maybe you mean least common divisor or least common multiple?

It's 'least (or lowest) common denominator' (there's only one of them âº) and, for 425 and 604 it's 1.

Least common denominators are only for fractions, but the least common multiple would be 256700 and the greatest common factor would be 1.
