  =  
79296/100000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 79296 and 100000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 79296 are: 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 12 14 16 21 24 28 32 42 48 56 59 64 84 96 112 118 168 177 192 224 236 336 354 413 448 472 672 708 826 944 1239 1344 1416 1652 1888 2478 2832 3304 3776 4956 5664 6608 9912 11328 13216 19824 26432 39648 79296
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 79296 and 100000 is: 32

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 32 in this case.
79296 ÷ 32/100000 ÷ 32
  =  
2478/3125


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.79296 as a fraction equals 79296/100000 or 2478/3125 in its simplest form.
