To convert a fraction to a percentage, multiply the numerator by 100 and divide by the denominator; if the denominator does not divide exactly into this, the percentage can be left as a fraction or converted to a decimal.
For example, to convert 3/8 to a percentage (8 does not divide into 100):
3/8 = 3/8 x 100 %
= 300 / 8 %
= 374/8 %
= 371/2 %
Or as a decimal:
= 37.5 %

A common factor in a fraction, in non-simplified form, is an integer greater than 1 which evenly divides the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest positive integer that will divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers. When applied to a numerator and a denominator, it is a way to reduce equivalent fractions to their simplest form. The GCF of 6 and 9 is 3. If you divide 6 and 9 by 3, you get 2 and 3. 6/9 = 2/3 The GCF of 2 and 3 is 1. If the GCF of a numerator and a denominator is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.

When no whole number will not go into both the numerator and the denominator evenly.
If the numerator divides evenly by the denominator, simply do that. When working with algebra you can multiply both sides by the denominator.

A common factor in a fraction, in non-simplified form, is an integer greater than 1 which evenly divides the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
Then the fraction is in its simplest form (lowest terms).
If the GCF of the numerator and denominator is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
