When simplifying or reducing fractions, it is often helpful to remember prime numbers. Prime numbers are those whole numbers that are divisible only by the number itself and the number one. If we look at 26/100 we see that 100 can be reduced many times, but 26 can be reduced no lower than 13. So, 26/100 = 13/50 (reducing both numbers by 1/2).
