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 the answer with the same numerator and the same denominator?
The same numerator as which numerator and the same denominator as which denominator?
When the numerator and denominator of a faction have no factors in common?
Everything has something in common, even if it's just one. When the numerator and the denominator have a GCF of 1, the fraction is said to be in its simplest form.
When the numerator and denominator or have no common factors other than 1?
The the fraction is in its lowest terms
A fraction is in when the numerator and the denominator have no common factors other than 1?
simplest form or lowest terms
Do conversion factors always sometimes or never have a numerator and denominator?
They always have a numerator but, if they are integers, the may not have a denominator.
How can you simplify 130 over 400?
You look for common factors in the numerator and the denominator, then divide both the numerator and the denominator by that common factor.
If a fraction's numerator and denominator have no factors other than one in common can the fraction be simplified?
If a fraction's numerator and denominator have no factors other than one in common, the fraction cannot be simplified except if the denominator is 1, in which case the fraction can be simplified to the whole number of the numerator.
How do you figure simplest forms of fractions?
If the numerator and denominator of a fraction have a common factor (except for '1'), divide both numerator and denominator by their common factor. The fraction is in the simplest form when the numerator and denominator have no common factors.
How can a fraction be simplified if the numerator and denominator have no factors other than one?
If the numerator and the denominator have no common factors other than one, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
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).
What is the definition of reduced fraction?
Where the numerator and denominator have no further common factors
What are the common factors of the numerator 6 and denominator 8?
1 and 2
What is 3 over 35 in simplest form?
3/35 is the simplest form. Why? Numerator factors: 3. Denominator factors: 5 and 7. None of the numerator and denominator factors are the same and therefore cannot cancel each other out.
When multiplying use fraction notification we form products in the numerator and the denominator but do not immediatily calculate the product?
That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.
What is 18 over 56 in simple form?
Fractions can be simplified when the numerator and denominator have a common factor in them. If both the numerator and denominator have common factors, then we can cancel these factors out. So the simplest for of 18/56 is 9/28.
Has a numerator and denominator?
A fraction has a numerator and a denominator.
