Yes. When the numerator and denominator have a GCF of 1, the fraction is in the simplest form.
To simplify, find the GCF and divide both numerator and denominator by the same:
Example: simplify 30/40
30/40 divided by 10/10 (1) = 3/4
When the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
If the highest common factor of the numerator and denominator of a fraction is 1 then the fraction is in its simplest form.
Then the fraction is in its simplest form.
The fraction is in its simplest form.
Any integer greater than 1.
To simplify or reduce an improper fraction, you can divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of both numbers. For example, if you are given the fraction 36/60; the common factors of the numerator (36) are 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, and 18. The common factors of the denominator are 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 12, and 20. We can see that 12 is the largest common factor between the numerator and denominator. Divide the numerator and denominator by 12: 36 / 12 = 3, and 60 / 12 = 5. We see that the fraction reduces to 3/5.
One.
The lowest common factor of any set of positive integers is 1.
The greatest common denominator is an infinite number and not very practical for problem solving. The GCF is 7. The LCM is 210.
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:you find the gcm(greatest common factor)wich is the lowest number that can go evenly into the numerator and the denominator. next:you devide both the numerator and the denominator by that gcm(greatest common factor)and walla!
The numerator of a fraction is the number on top and the denominator is the number at the bottom.Search for a common factor, of the numerator and denominator. That is a whole number that goes into both of them evenly.If the only such number is 1, then you are done. If not,Divide both the numerator and denominator by that common factor to give an equivalent fraction with a new numerator and denominator.Go back to step 1.
The parity (odd or even) of a number has no relevance in reducing fractions. What is required is to find the highest common factor between the numerator and denominator. Clearly, if the numerator and denominator are bot even then 2 is a common factor and so it must be possible to reduce the fraction. The highest common factor or even a common factor may not be so obvious when both numerator and denominator are odd.For example, 21/91 = (3*7)/(13*7) = 3/13
The GCF of any number and 1 is 1.
You put a fraction in simplest form by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. If the either the numerator or denominator is a prime number, the fraction cannot be simplified.
By dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same number is like dividing by 1.
The greatest common factor is the largest number that is evenly divisible by both numbers, so if you divide both numerator and denominator by GCF, the numerator and denominator will be the smallest integers possible, and still be an equivalent fraction.
The same way as multiplying a whole number by an ordinary fraction: Multiply the numerator (top number) by the whole number and put it over the original denominator (bottom number). This can then be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their highest common factor; or it can be converted into a decimal (which could be a whole number) by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
Any number is the form when the denominador and the numerador are 1.
Simplest form is a fraction in which the numerator and denominator have no common factor except 1.Numerator is the Top Number or Variable. Denominator is the Bottom Number or Variable.Or Switched I'm not really sure.
The numerator is the number above the line in a common fraction showing how many of the parts indicated by the denominator are taken. The denominator is the number below the line in a common fraction showing the total number of parts.
