Step 1
As the only ' factor of denominator is 2, in fact there are three twos (2×2×2) we can can convert the fraction 78 by multiplying numerator and denominator by
5×5×5
Hence,
78=7×5×5×58×5×5×5=8751000=0.875
(This is always possible if only ' factors of denominator are 2's and 5's - just multiply by as many 5's and 2's)
