It gives an equivalent fraction.
Find the largest whole number that will divide into the numerator and the denominator evenly, divide them each.
Then the fraction is in its simplest form (lowest terms).
Percent literally means divide by one hundred. So divide the number by 100 and then bring that fraction to lowest terms.
Any whole number can be expressed as a fraction by putting it over 1.

Find the largest whole number that will divide into the numerator and the denominator evenly, divide them each.
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator. Divide each of them by that number. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its lowest terms.

74% = .74 = 74/100 = 37/50 Divide 74/100 by 2. This is in lowest terms because 37 is a prime number. Only one number in a fraction must be prime in order for a fraction to be in lowest terms. ~Doraexplorer~

Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
"Lowest terms" refers to the fraction part of a mixed number. To put any fraction in its simplest form, find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form (lowest terms).
