What is a fraction or a ratio by dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor?
It is a simplified fraction or ratio.
What is a common factor in fraction?
A common factor in a fraction, in non-simplified form, is an integer greater than 1 which evenly divides the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
How do you know if a fraction is simplified?
A fraction is considered simplified or reduced when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. In other words, there is no integer greater than 1 that divides evenly into both the numerator and the denominator. If there are common factors, the fraction can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.
How do you reduce if the fraction are not divisible?
If the highest common factor of its numerator and denominator is 1 then the fraction is in its simplified form.
What is 3 fifteenths as a simplified fraction?
3 fifteenths as a simplified fraction is 1 fifth. All you have to do is divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor.
How can the greatest common factor help you write a fraction in simplest form?
Find the greatest common factor between the numerator and the denominator, then divide the numerator by greatest common factor and then divide denominator by greatest common factor, for a new simplified fraction.
What is the definition of simplified fractions?
A simplified fraction is one in which the numerator and denominator do not have any common factor (other than 1).
Can the fraction 85 over 100 be simplified?
Yes. The numerator and denominator have a common factor of 5 .
Can the fraction 19 over 51 be simplified?
No. The only common factor of 19 and 51 is 1.
When a fraction cannot be simplified what must be true about the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator?
It is 1.
What is a simplified fraction?
A simplified fraction is one in which the numerator and denominator have no factor, other than 1, in common. It is obtained by dividing both, the numerator and denominator, by any common factors.
What is an example of a simplified algebraic fraction?
In much the same way as a simplified ordinary fraction, a simplified algebraic fraction is one in which the numerator and denominator have no factor in common (other than 1). For example, (x + 3)/(x2 + 2x + 5)
