What else can I help you with?
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.
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).
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.
What is the definition of reduced fraction?
Where the numerator and denominator have no further common factors
What is the term for a fraction when the denominator and numerator do not have any more factors in common?
It is a fraction in its reduced or simplest from.
What is a reduced fraction where the numerator and denominator have no common factors except for 1?
That IS the reduced or simplified fraction.
How do you know if a fraction is simplified?
A fraction is considered simplified or reduced when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. In other words, there is no integer greater than 1 that divides evenly into both the numerator and the denominator. If there are common factors, the fraction can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.
How do you solve simplify fractions?
You search for common factors in the numerator and the denominator. Then you divide numerator and denominator by this common fraction. For example, in the fraction 9/12, the common factor is 3. If you divide numerator and denominator (top and bottom) by 3, you get 3/4, which is an equivalent fraction.
A fraction is written in this way when there are no common factors between the numerator and the denominator?
yes
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.
How do you tell if a fraction can be reduced?
If the numerator and denominator have any common factors (other than 1), then both the numerator and denominator can be divided by the common factor, and the new fraction will be equivalent to the original fraction in reduced form.
Can 16 over 63 be reduced?
A fraction can be simplified if the numerator and denominator have any common factors. In this case, the factors of the numerator (16) are 2x2x2x2. The factors of the denominator (63) are 3x3x7. There are no common factors. Therefore, the fraction 16/63 is already in its simplest form and cannot be reduced.
