The factors of 45678 are: 1 2 3 6 23 46 69 138 331 662 993 1986 7613 15226 22839 45678
The factors of 10000 are: 1 2 4 5 8 10 16 20 25 40 50 80 100 125 200 250 400 500 625 1000 1250 2000 2500 5000 10000
The GCF of 45678 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.
45678 ÷ 2/10000 ÷ 2
  =  
22839/5000


Great Work! We've just determined that 4.5678 as a fraction equals 45678/10000 or 22839/5000 in its simplest form.
