To simplify the fraction 72/100, you'll want to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (72) and the denominator (100), and then divide both by that GCD.
The factors of 72 are , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 18 , 24 , 36 , 72 .
The factors of 100 are , 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 10 , 20 , 25 , 50 , 100 .
The largest number that appears in both lists is 4, so the GCD of 12 and 36 is 4.
72 ÷ 4 = 18
100 ÷ 4 = 25
So, the simplified form of 72/100 is 18/25.
The fraction 72/100 is equivalent to 18/25 when simplified.
