They always have a numerator but, if they are integers, the may not have a denominator.

How can you tell whether a fraction is in simplest form?
If the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
How is raising a quotient to a power similar to raising a product to a power?
You are both raising the factors or numerator and denominator
How does knowing factors help you simplify fractions?
Knowing factors will help you find a GCF. To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.
How do you reduce proper fractions to lowest terms?
You look for common factors, and divide both numerator and denominator by the same factor. For example, 9/12 has the common factor 3, if you divide numerator and denominator by 3, you get 3/4.
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.
How can you simplify 130 over 400?
You look for common factors in the numerator and the denominator, then divide both the numerator and the denominator by that common factor.
What is factors to the numerator and denominator?
The numerator and denominator of fractions are just whole numbers and have factors like any other number. Factor them as you would any regular whole 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.
How do you figure simplest forms of fractions?
If the numerator and denominator of a fraction have a common factor (except for '1'), divide both numerator and denominator by their common factor. The fraction is in the simplest form when the numerator and denominator have no common factors.
How can a fraction be simplified if the numerator and denominator have no factors other than one?
If the numerator and the denominator have no common factors other than one, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
How do you simplify fractions by cancelling common factors?
Here is an example. The fraction to simplify is 6/12. See if there is a common factor between the numerator and the denominator. In this case, 3 happens to be a common factor. Divide numerator and denominator by 3. The result is 2/4. See if there are more common factors, and repeat. Dividing numerator and denominator by 2, you get 1/2. You could also have divided numerator and denominator of the original fraction by 6, with the same final result - but sometimes it is easier to do it in parts.
What is a fraction that has no common factors in the numerator or the denominator?
If the numerator and denominator are prime numbers and not equal then they don't have common factors (except 1 which would be a common factor even if the numerator and denominator were prime numbers).
Can a odd numerator and a odd denominator be reduced?
Sometimes it can, and sometimes it can't. For example: 7/9 can not be reduced - there are no common factors. 9/15 can be reduced - the common factor is 3.
What is the definition of reduced fraction?
Where the numerator and denominator have no further common factors
What are the common factors of the numerator 6 and denominator 8?
1 and 2
What is 3 over 35 in simplest form?
3/35 is the simplest form. Why? Numerator factors: 3. Denominator factors: 5 and 7. None of the numerator and denominator factors are the same and therefore cannot cancel each other out.
When multiplying use fraction notification we form products in the numerator and the denominator but do not immediatily calculate the product?
That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct.
