Step-by-step solution

The problem

0.04

  1. Write the digits over 100. 0.04 has 2 decimal places, so put the digits (without the point) over 1 followed by 2 zeros.

    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{4}{100}}

  2. Simplify. Write both as prime factors:\begin{aligned} 4 &= 2^{2} \\[6pt] 100 &= 2^{2} \times 5^{2} \end{aligned}The factors they share give the greatest common factor (GCF): \displaystyle 2^{2} = 4. Divide the top and bottom by 4.

    = \frac{4 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{1}{25}}

All the working together

\begin{aligned} &0.04 \\[8pt] &= \frac{4}{100} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{over 100}} \\[8pt] &= \frac{4 \div 4}{100 \div 4} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{simplify}} \\[8pt] &= \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{1}{25}}\end{aligned}
