Step-by-step simplification of 25/4

  1. Start with computing the GCD of 25 and 4: GCD(25, 4) = 1.
  2. Divide the numerator by the GCD: 25/1 = 25
  3. Divide the denominator by the GCD: 4/1 = 4
  4. Combine these results to form the new simplified fraction: 25/4

The final result is: 25 4 = 25 4

Since the GCD is equal to 1, the fraction was already in its simplest form and couldn't be further reduced.
