The GCF of 12178 and 10000 is: 2

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 2 in this case.
12178 ÷ 2/10000 ÷ 2
  =  
6089/5000


Great Work! We've just determined that 1.2178 as a fraction equals 12178/10000 or 6089/5000 in its simplest form.
