Step-by-step solution

2 steps

To express 8% as a fraction in lowest terms:

  1. Convert percentage to a fraction

    A percentage means "per hundred," so 8% can be written as 8 out of 100.

    8%=81008\% = \frac{8}{100}
  2. Simplify the fraction

    Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (8) and the denominator (100).
    Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8
    Factors of 100: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100
    The GCD of 8 and 100 is 4.
    Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4.

    8÷4100÷4=225\frac{8 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \frac{2}{25}

    The fraction in lowest terms is:

    225\frac{2}{25}
