375 as a Fraction in Simplest Form Worksheet
Introduction
Fractions are an essential part of mathematics, and understanding how to simplify them is a crucial skill for students to master. In this worksheet, we will explore how to convert the decimal number 375 into a fraction in its simplest form.
What is a Fraction in Simplest Form?
A fraction is in its simplest form when the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number) have no common factors other than 1. For example, the fraction 2/4 is not in its simplest form because both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 2, resulting in the simplified fraction 1/2.
Converting 375 to a Fraction
To convert the decimal number 375 to a fraction, we can follow these steps:
- Write the decimal as a fraction: 375 can be written as 375/1
- Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator: The GCD of 375 and 1 is 1
- Divide the numerator and the denominator by the GCD: 375 ÷ 1 = 375, 1 ÷ 1 = 1
- Write the fraction in simplest form: 375/1 = 375/1
Simplifying the Fraction
