How do you write 88% as a fraction

or

Step-by-step explanation:

Any percentage automatically has 100 as a denominator. It's 88 out of 100. So, we can start off with that.

We can leave this just like that, but if your assignment asks for the simplified form, keep reading.

Now, to simplify a fraction, we have to find common factors. Finding the greatest common factor will be the smoothest route.

Factors of 88: 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88

Factors of 100: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100

Now that we've listed our factors, we can see that 4 is the greatest common factor. So, let's divide both top and bottom by 4.

To check if we can simplify further, we'll look for another greatest common factor.

Factors of 22: 1, 2, 11, 22

Factors of 25: 1, 5, 25

The only factor shared is 1. Therefore, is the lowest we can simplify.
