In order to completely reduce the fraction, you must divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor (GCF). The GCF of 110 and 100 is (note: click here if you need help with finding the GCF). So divide both the numerator and denominator by



In other words, to reduce the fraction you do this
%28numerator%2FGCF%29%2F%28denominator%2FGCF%29=Reduced_Fraction



%28110%2F%29%2F%28100%2F%29 Plug in the numerator, denominator, and the GCF


%2811%29%2F%28100%2F%29 Now divide 110 by to get 11. This is now the new numerator.


11%2F10 Now divide 100 by to get 10. This is now the new denominator.



So

%28110%2F%29%2F%28100%2F%29=11%2F10




This means that 110%2F100 reduces to 11%2F10



In other words, 110%2F100=11%2F10
