Express 2 divided by 5 as a fraction.

To write a fraction in its simplest form means the numerator and denominator can no longer be divided by the same whole number exactly or evenly.

Answer: The value of 2 divided by 5 as a fraction is 2/5.

Let us write 2 divided by 5 as a fraction.

Explanation:

We can write 2 divided by 5 as 2/5.

Both 2 and 5 are prime numbers. Therefore, the GCF or the greatest common factor of 2 and 5 is 1.

So to simplify the fraction and reduce it to its simplest form we will divide both numerator and denominator by 1.

⇒ (2 ÷ 1) / (5 ÷ 1) =  2/5

Thus, 2 divided by 5 as a fraction in simplest form is 2/5.
