How to work it out

  1. Simplify: 50/50 = 1/1 (divide by 50)
  2. Divide the numerator by the denominator: 50 ÷ 50 = 1
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1 × 50 = 50, which is 50 once rounding is allowed for.

In a spreadsheet: =50/50. Dividing the denominator by the numerator flips the fraction. A bar over (or brackets around) digits means they repeat forever.
