To simplify the fraction \( \frac{376}{80} \), we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
First, find the GCD of 376 and 80.
The prime factorization of 376 is \( 2^3 \times 47 \) and for 80 is \( 2^4 \times 5 \). The GCD is \( 2^3 = 8 \).
Now, divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD:
\[ \frac{376 \div 8}{80 \div 8} = \frac{47}{10} \]
So, \( \frac{376}{80} \) simplifies to \( \frac{47}{10} \) or 4.7 when expressed as a decimal.
