If the numerator of a fraction is a prime number can the fraction be simplied?
Yes, if the denominator is a multiple of the numerator. No, if not.
Your numerator and denominator are prime number the sum of your numerator and denominator is 4 what fraction are you?
2/2
When a numerator and its denominator are relatively prime a fraction is in what?
simplest form
What is a fraction who's numerator is one less that it's denominator and both the numerator and denominator are prime numbers?
It is 2/3.
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 the top of the number of a fraction?
The top number of a fraction is the numerator. The bottom number is the denominator. In the fraction 1/5, the number 1 is the numerator, and the number 5 is the denominator.
Is a fraction that has been simplified to its smallest form?
A fraction in which the numerator and denominator are co-prime.
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).
Which fraction has a numerator and a denominator that are both prime numbers?
2/3
When are you able to cross cancel a fraction?
When the numerator and denominator are not co-prime.
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.
How do you put a fraction in to simplest form?
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.
