Key Concepts

Fraction Simplification

Fraction simplification (or reducing to lowest terms) is the process of dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor. This results in an equivalent fraction expressed in the simplest form, making it easier to interpret and work with.

Percentage

A percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. It denotes a part out of a whole that is divided into 100 equal pieces, making it easy to compare proportions.

Conversion from Percentage to Fraction

Converting a percentage to a fraction involves writing the percentage number over 100 since percentages are based on the denominator 100. This conversion forms the basis for further simplification.
