If a is an integer then 4 divides 4a2 so it cannot be a prime.

If a = 0 then 4a2 = 0 and cannot be simplified further

If a = 1 then 4a2 = 4 = 2*2

If a is an integer > 1, then 4a2 = 2*2*a*a

If a is not an integer, then there are too many possible options for the answer.

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.
