The numerator is the number of possible successful outcomes.
The denominator is the total number of possible outcomes, successful or not . . .
2 for a coin toss, 36 for a pair of dice, 46 for pulling one marble out of a bag
with 46 marbles in it, 29 for naming one date in a leap February, etc.
By finding the lowest common multiple of the denominators
When adding and subtracting unlike fractions, it is necessary to find a least common denominator. It's the same process as finding an LCM. You can simplify a fraction by finding the GCF of the numerator and denominator and dividing them both by it.
-- First, find the line in the middle of the fraction. -- Then look under the line. The number you find down there is the denominator.
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
Simply change the numerator and you will have another - different - fraction wit the same denominator.
You can find a missing denominator if you know something that the fraction is equal to. Then you can find the missing denominator through cross multiplication.
Find a common denominator.
To solve a complex fraction and find the unit rate, first simplify the fraction by finding a common denominator for the numerator and the denominator. Once simplified, divide the numerator by the denominator to express it as a single fraction. Finally, interpret the result as the unit rate by expressing it in terms of one unit of measurement, such as per item or per hour. This will provide a clear understanding of the rate being analyzed.
Denominator = Numerator/Value
It is an improper fraction when the numerator is greater than the denominator
To get the reciprocal of a fraction, exchange the numerator and denominator.
Yes that is the most effective approach in reducing fractions and finding their lowest common denominator.
