Which fraction has a numerator and a denominator that are both prime numbers?
2/3
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.
MY numerator and denominator are prime numbers Their product is 119 who are you?
A proper fraction with the numerator and denominator going to make a product of 119 is 7/17.
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.
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
What term has a numerator and denominator with no common factor?
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).
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.
When a numerator and its denominator are relatively prime a fraction is in what?
simplest form
What is always true about the numerator and denominator of a fraction in simplest form?
Their GCF is 1.
How do you simplify a fraction?
To simplify a fraction, the numerator and denominator must both be divisible by the same number (factor).Divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF (greatest common factor). For example, to simplify the fraction 14/49, divide the numerator and the denominator by 7 to obtain the simplified fraction 2/7.In the simplest form of a fraction, the numerator and denominator are relatively prime or co-prime, i.e. they have no common prime factors, their GCF is 1.
What is a fraction when its numerator and denominator are relatively prime?
As the numerator and denominator don't have any common factors then the fraction is in its simplest form. If they weren't relatively prime then there would be a common factor and therefore the fraction could be simplified.
