What is 2/5 (⅖) as a decimal?

Divide the reduced numerator by the reduced denominator: 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4. Reducing the fraction first does not change the value, only the numbers you divide.

What is the GCF of 2 and 5?

The Greatest Common Factor of 2 and 5 is 1, and dividing the numerator and the denominator by it is what brings the fraction to 2/5 (⅖). A GCF of 1 means the fraction is already in lowest terms.

Can 2/5 be reduced?

No: 2 and 5 share no prime factor, so their GCF is 1 and 2/5 is already in lowest terms.
