First, find the GCF, or greatest common factor, of the numerator and denominator. If one number ends in 25 and the other ends in 00, then a factor of both is 25 :
325/25 = 13 1000/25 = 40 Our new fraction is 1 3/40 , and, seeing as that has a prime number, 13, it cannot be simplified, so that is the final answer. Hope this helps!

The simplest form of 1000 325 is 40 13 after dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 25.
