When a fraction cannot be simplified what must be true about the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator?
It is 1.
A fraction whose numerator is equal to or greater than denominator?
a fraction that has a numerator equal to the denominator is one: a fraction who's numerator is greater that the denominator is an improper fraction.
Why or why not can a fraction be simplified if the numerator is a prime number?
"7" is a prime number. But you can simplify 7/14, 7/21,/7/28, and so on. Answer: If the denominator is also a multiple of the prime number, then the fraction can be simplified; otherwise, it cannot. To simplify any fraction, the numerator and denominator must have a factor in common, as in the examples above.
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.
What is the fraction for 0.0115?
0.0115 is equivalent to 115/10,000 This can be simplified to 23/2000 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their common denominator of 5. This cannot be simplified further, as 23 is a prime number.
If a fraction's numerator and denominator have no factors other than one in common can the fraction be simplified?
If a fraction's numerator and denominator have no factors other than one in common, the fraction cannot be simplified except if the denominator is 1, in which case the fraction can be simplified to the whole number of the numerator.
Can a fraction that is in simplified form ever have an even number in the numerator and an even number in the denominator?
No. If it has an even number in the numerator and the denominator, then both are divisible by 2, and the fraction is NOT simplified.
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.
What is a fraction in if its numerator and denominator have a GCF of 1?
A fraction in which the factor of the numerator and the denominator is 1 is known as a reduced, or simplified, fraction.68 is not reduced (or not simplified) because 68 =2⋅32⋅2⋅234 is a reduced, or simplified, fraction: 1⋅31⋅2⋅2
Is a fraction that has been simplified to its smallest form?
A fraction in which the numerator and denominator are co-prime.
What is a fraction or a ratio by dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor?
It is a simplified fraction or ratio.
Can a numerator of a fraction be simpilfied?
Not without the denominator being simplified as well.
When is a fraction irrational?
If, in its simplified form. its numerator or denominator (or both) are irrational.
What Number is a wole number in a fraction?
It is a number whose numerator is a multiple of the denominator. Equivalently, it is a fraction which, when simplified, has a denominator of 1.
What is a fraction considered when the numerator denominator or both are fractions?
A complex fraction, just waiting to be simplified.
What is a reduced fraction where the numerator and denominator have no common factors except for 1?
That IS the reduced or simplified fraction.
When the numerator and denominator have 1 as their only common factor?
then that is your simplest formIt is an irreducible fraction or one in its lowest or simplest form.A fraction that is reduced to lowest terms.If a fraction's numerator and denominator have no factors other than one in common, the fraction cannot be simplified except if the denominator is 1, in which case the fraction can be simplified to the whole number of the numerator.
