Simplify 500 to the nearest common factor

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor both the numerator and denominator down to prime factors:

500 = 22 * 53

1,000 = 23 * 53

Calculate the greatest common factor, GCF (also called greatest common divisor, GCD), by taking all the common prime factors of the numerator and denominator, by the lowest exponents:

gcd (22 * 53; 23 * 53) = 22 * 53

Divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF (also called the greatest common divisor, GCD):

500/1,000 =

(22 * 53)/(23 * 53) =

((22 * 53) ÷ (22 * 53)) / ((23 * 53) ÷ (22 * 53)) =

1/2

Rewrite result:

1 ÷ 2 = 0.5 as a decimal number.

Hope this helps!!

no, x cannot be the same number. in all of them, x is 1. for one input there is another output. g is not a function

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
