Infinitely many, if you allow improper (or top heavy) fractions. Otherwise 40.

What patterns do you notice in your equivalent fractions?
Arranged from least to greatest, the numerators and denominators are the times tables of the simplest form.
Are all fractions that have a numerator of 1 in simplest form explain?
Yes, that is true. With all positive fractions that can be reduced, the numerator becomes a smaller positive whole number. There is no smaller positive whole number than one, therefore all fractions that have a numerator of 1 are in their simplest form. You can tell if a fraction is in its simplest form by finding the the GCF of the nmerator and the denominator. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form. The GCF of any number and 1 is 1, therefore all fractions that have a numerator of 1 are in their simplest form.
What is the definition for adding fractions?
The definition of adding fractions is : "calculating the results of applying the binary operation of addition to two or more rational numbers which, in their simplest form, have denominators which are not one."
How are all unit fractions different?
They have the same numerator (1) but different denominators. Since the numerator is 1 in each fraction, it cannot be simplified therefore each unit fraction is in its simplest form. Then, because the denominators of any two of them are different the fractions must be different.
What do you do to add fractions with common denominators?
To add fractions with the same denominators, simply add together the numerators, and cancel down if necessary. For example, 5/8 + 1/8 = 6/8. Cancelling this down to an improper fraction in its simplest form, this is equal to 3/4.

How many positive proper fraction in simplest form have denominators of 100?
You can have any number that is uneven and that's not divisible by five
Advantages to writing fractions in decimal form?
no need to change the denominators
How many positive proper fractions in simplest form have the denominator 12?
1, 5, 7 and 11 twelfths.
Do you do factors of the greatest common factor or multiples?
When doing fractions it is the greatest common factor (GCF) and the least common multiple (LCM). You want the GCF when you are reducing fractions to their simplest form. When changing the denominators to a common one, you want the LCM.
What is 13 14 simplest form for fractions?
13/14 is in its simplest form.
Are prime factors the easiest way to reduce fractions and find whether a fraction is in its simplest form and to find the lowest common denominator of two or more denominators?
Yes that is the most effective approach in reducing fractions and finding their lowest common denominator.
Are all fractions that have a numerator of 1 in simplest form?
Basically yes. If you want to be pedantic about it, though, there is the exception when the denominator is negative. Convention requires the simplest form to have a negative numerator (-1) and a positive denominator.
