     1).

     400 as a product of its primes:

     400 = 2^4 × 5^2 

     2). 

     205 as a product of its primes:

     205 = 5 × 41 

     3). 

     7/14 reduced to the lowest terms:

     1/2 

     4). 

     3/7 of 42 = 18 

     5). 

     The National Safe Kids Campaign and Bell Sports sponsored a study 

     that surveyed 8,159 children ages 5 to 14, who were riding bicycles.  

     Approximately 2/5 of the children were wearing helmets and of those,  

     only 13/20 were wearing helmets correctly.  

     8,159 × (2/5) × (13/20) = 2121.34 

     About 2121 of the children were wearing helmets correctly.

    Keep dividing by primes until the result is 1

    400/2 = 200

    200/2 = 100

    100/2 = 50

    50/2 = 25

    25 /5 = 5

    5/5 = 1

    prime factors

    400 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5 * 5

    400 = 2⁴  * 5²  <–––––
