Well, darling, 286 over 1000 simplified is 143 over 500. It's like reducing a recipe - just divide the top and bottom by 2 until you can't anymore. Voila, a fraction that's as simplified as a Sunday morning in your favorite pajamas.

286/1000 = 143/500 in lowest term

To simplify 286/1000 to its lowest term:

1. Get the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 286 & 1000.

286 = 2 ---------------------x 11 x 13

1000= 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5

=========================

GCF = 2

2. Divide the numerator and denominator by their GCF.

286/1000 = (286 ÷ 2) / (1000 ÷ 2) = 143/500

286/1000 = 143/500 in lowest term
