272500/381500

 

Well, you can take 100 from each side right off the bat.

 

2725/3815

 

Take it by 5

 

(2725/5)/(3815/5) = 545/763

 

From here, notice the 45 and 63? They are both divisible by 9, and the numbers in fromt of 45 and 63 (5 and 7, respectively) are the numbers multiplied by 9 to get the 45 and 63

 

EX:

 

5 45

5 * 9 = 45

7 63

7 * 9 = 63

 

You can divide each side by 109

 

(545/109)/(763/109) = 5/7

 

Final ration = 5/7
