How do you simplify fractions using prime numbers?

To simplify a fraction using prime numbers, find the prime factors of both the numerator and denominator. Then, divide the numerator and denominator by their common prime factors. Repeat this process until there are no common prime factors left. The resulting fraction will be simplified to its simplest form.


How do you do cancellations with large numbers when simplifying fractions?

This becomes easier with experience and having the ability to recognise that certain numbers are factors of both the numerator and denominator. Until this experience is gained simply try dividing the numerator and denominator by prime numbers of increasing value. (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 etc) Obviously if this division is successful then the fraction can be simplified but this does not necessarily mean further simplification is not possible. Simplification ceases when either the numerator or the denominator becomes a prime number or has the value 1. This last condition usually applies to just the numerator. All non-prime numbers can be factored into prime numbers so it is only necessary, at this stage, to divide using prime numbers.


What is the greatest common denominator of any 2 prime numbers?

Their least common denominator is their product. Their greatest common denominator is infinite.


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. :)


Is a fraction prime when the numerator and the denominator both have 1 as their only common factor?

No, prime refers to whole numbers. In the situation you describe, a fraction is in its simplest form.

One of them is: 5/24 and 5*24 = 120


Can fraction notation be simplified if the numerator and denominator are two different prime numbers?

No. To simplify a fraction the numerator and denominator must have a common factor greater than 1.


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).

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 always true about the numerator and denominator of a fraction in simplest form?
