Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. 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.
Multiply the numerator and the whole number. Put the total over the denominator. Simplify if possible.
"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.
divide the numerator by the denominator eg.15over10=1 5over 10
You do the numerator divided by the denominator, then simplify the fractions if you can. (this is how you change a improper fraction to a mixed number, you cannot change a proper fraction to a mixed number)
The top number is the numerator. It tells you how many of the bottom number, denominator, you have.
simplify by dividing
Divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number to simplify a fraction. This number must be a common factor of the numerator and the denominator. For example, 50 is a common factor of the numerator and denominator of 350/400. By dividing each by 50, 350/400 can be simplified to 7/8.
first multiply the denominator to the mixed number. then,when you got the product, add the product to the numerator. then,when you got the sum, copy the sum as numerator and the denominator was the last denominator you used.
yes you can simplify a mixed number b but only if the numerator and denominator can be divided
Yes But then you would have to divide the denominator into the numerator and get a mixed number ,then simply 6:4
You multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator of the original fraction to get the numerator of your new fraction. The denominator stays the same as the original. Then you simplify into lowest terms.
you can use factor of both the numerator and denominator, not a multiple, a factor
Evidently, 12 over 6 is an improper fraction and you can simplify this by dividing the denominator and numerator by 6 (a number that goes into both the denominator and numerator). This gives you 2/1, which as a mixed number is 2.It's 2 basically
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, add the the numerator to that total and put the new total over the original denominator. Simplify if necessary by taking the GCF of the numerator and denominator.
You multiply the whole number by the denominator and then add the numerator. This is your numerator. You have the same denominator as you did before. Simplify. Example: 5 and 1/2. 5x2+1=11. 11/2. You can't simplify
Multiply the numerator and the whole number. Put the total over the denominator. Simplify if possible.
If the numerator and denominator are the same then their GCF is also the same number. So the fraction can be written, it is simplest form as the integer, 1.
