The GCF of 13046 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.
13046 ÷ 2/10000 ÷ 2
  =  
6523/5000


Great Work! We've just determined that 1.3046 as a fraction equals 13046/10000 or 6523/5000 in its simplest form.
