To do this, find the <strong>greatest common divisor (GCD)<\/strong> of the numerator and the denominator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Factors of 65:<\/strong> 1, 5, 13, 65<br><strong>Factors of 100:<\/strong> 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The largest common factor is <strong>5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now divide both the numerator and denominator by <strong>5<\/strong>:65\u00f75100\u00f75=1320\\frac{65 \\div 5}{100 \\div 5} = \\frac{13}{20}100\u00f7565\u00f75\u200b=2013\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 Final Answer:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">0.65=1320\\boxed{0.65 = \\frac{13}{20}}0.65=2013\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Simplify?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simplifying a fraction gives us the most <strong>reduced form<\/strong>, meaning the numerator and denominator have <strong>no common factors<\/strong> besides 1. It makes the fraction easier to understand and compare with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Tip:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For any decimal that ends (is <strong>terminating<\/strong>), you can turn it into a fraction by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Counting how many decimal places it has.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Placing the digits over 10, 100, 1000, etc., depending on the number of decimal places.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simplifying.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For 0.65 (which has two decimal places), we put it over 100:0.65=65100=13200.65 = \\frac{65}{100} = \\frac{13}{20}0.65=10065\u200b=2013\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method works for any terminating decimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><br>0.65 as a simplified fraction is <strong>13\/20<\/strong>. This process helps build number sense and is fundamental for understanding more complex math like ratios, percentages, and algebra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-126.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-229111\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Decimals into Fractions) 0.65=?
