They are both parts of a larger whole.
If the numerator was a factor of the denominator.
when you divide the numerator and denominator by the same factor
If the numerator is a factor of the denominator, the GCF of the two will be the numerator.
When the numerator is a factor of the denominator.
They are a common factor and any common factor in the numerator and denominator of a ratio can be cancelled out.
If the numerator is a factor of the denominator.
Dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor is how you simplify a fraction.
cross product method is multiplying the numerator of the first factor to the denominator of the second factor and multiplying the denominator to the numerator of the second factor.
An expression is in its lowest terms if the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is one.An expression is in its lowest terms if the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is one.An expression is in its lowest terms if the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is one.An expression is in its lowest terms if the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is one.
The numerator must contain the unit INTO which you are converting.
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.
I had to find this out for chemisty...an d i couldn't find the answer but i did find "a conversion factor is a fraction whose numerator and denominator are the same quantity expressed in different units." This may help but idk. If you have a white chemistry book with a yellow triangle then its on page 25.Hope this helps! ☺
