BUT

you asked in SIMPLEST FORM!

SO,

When you think "What can go into 45?" You'd probably think of 5 first.
if not, then work your way out.
10? No
9? Yes! But can 9 go into 100? No.
8? No
7? No
6? No.
5? Yes!
4? No.
3? No
2? No
1? Yes, but we can't use 1 now, can we?


45 is divisible by 5.  Anything lower? No, other than 1. 

is 100 divisble by 5? Yes. 

45 / 5 = 9
100 / 5 = 20.

Therefore, it is 9/20.
(For the work portion, you dont have to include the countdown, thats just me explaining it.)
