  =  
61425/100000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 61425 and 100000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 61425 are: 1 3 5 7 9 13 15 21 25 27 35 39 45 63 65 75 91 105 117 135 175 189 195 225 273 315 325 351 455 525 585 675 819 945 975 1365 1575 1755 2275 2457 2925 4095 4725 6825 8775 12285 20475 61425
The factors of 100000 are: 1 2 4 5 8 10 16 20 25 32 40 50 80 100 125 160 200 250 400 500 625 800 1000 1250 2000 2500 3125 4000 5000 6250 10000 12500 20000 25000 50000 100000
The GCF of 61425 and 100000 is: 25

Step 4:

To simplify the fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF), which we calculated in the previous step. The GCF value is 25 in this case.
61425 ÷ 25/100000 ÷ 25
  =  
2457/4000
