Dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor is how you simplify a fraction.
It is a simplified fraction or ratio.
By dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same number is like dividing by 1.
It means dividing the numerator and denominator of the fraction by their greatest common factor.
A simplified fraction is one in which the numerator and denominator have no factor, other than 1, in common. It is obtained by dividing both, the numerator and denominator, by any common factors.
By dividing its numerator and its denominator by their highest common factor.
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.
a common numerator is a fraction result to common denominator
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.
When the numerator is less than the denominator then it is a common fraction but if the numerator is greater than the denominator then it is an improper fraction.
Divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor to reduce to its lowest equivalent fraction. For example, 169/260=13/20 after dividing the numerator and the denominator by 13.
If you are dividing the numerator and the denominator by the same number (the GCF), it is the same as dividing the fraction by 1, which will leave it unchanged and create the same product.
