How do you write the ratio 54:30 as a fraction in simplest form, with whole numbers in the numerator and denominator?
yvettedynes007
x : y = x / x + y
54 : 30 = 54 / 54 + 30
1 + 30 = 31

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).
What do you call to rewrite a fraction where the numerator and denominator are the smallest numbers possible?
It is the fraction in its simplest form.
What is the definition for simplest form?
Simplest form refers to expressing a fraction in its most reduced form by simplifying the numerator and denominator to their greatest common divisor. In simplest form, both the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.
If the numerator and denominator of a fraction are prime numbers is the fraction in simplest form and why?
Yes. If the numerator and denominator of a fraction are prime, the fraction is in simplest form. The reason is that each number has only two factors, 1 and the number itself. For that reason, it is not possible for the numerator and denominator to have any factors (other than 1) in common.
What is the definition of simplest form fraction?
A fraction is in simplest form if both its numerator and denominator are whole numbers and their only common factor is 1.
How do you change fraction to simplest form?
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide both numbers by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
What is a common multiple in which the GCF of the numerator and denominator is 1?
If the GCF of two numbers is 1, the LCM is their product. If the GCF of the numerator and denominator is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
How do you know if a fraction is in simplest form?
A fraction is in its simplest form if its denominator (bottom half of the fraction) and numerator (top half of the fraction) cannot be divided by the same number to equal a fraction with whole numbers in the numerator and denominator. [When you 'cancel' a fraction out (divide it to get a smaller fraction, closer to the simplest form) you must do the same sum to the numerator AND the denominator, so you must be able to divide the numerator by the same number you divide the numerator by, as the fraction cannot contain decimals or remainders (it must be a whole number] e.g. 3/6 is NOT in its simplest form, as you can divide both numbers by 3, meaning that the simplest form would be 1/3 1/3 is in its simplest form, as although you could divide the denominator by 3, you cannot divide the numerator by 3 to equal a whole number.
What is called if a fraction whose numerator and denominator can both be divided by 1?
irreducible fraction An irreducible fraction (or fraction in lowest terms, simplest form or reduced fraction) is a fraction in which the numerator and denominator are integers that have no other common divisors than 1 (and −1, when negative numbers are considered).
The definition of simplest form?
A fraction is in simplest form if both its numerator and denominator are whole numbers and their only common factor is 1.
What is always true about the numerator and denominator of a fraction in simplest form?
Their GCF is 1.
How can you check to see if a fraction is written in simplest form of a fraction?
You have to make sure both the numerator and denominator are prime numbers, and if they aren't, then it's not in simplest form. Also, the denominator shouldn't be divisible by the numerator, which sort of falls in to the prime number category. Hope this helped. :) I'm really good with numbers. :)
