When a the GCF of the numerator and denominator of a fraction 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.
It is 1.
1 is the greatest common factor of any fraction in lowest terms.
Multiply the numerator of the fraction by the same amount that you multiply the denominator of that fraction.
5/7 is a fraction in its simplest form. To create an equivalent fraction it is necessary to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same integer. The opposite is also true. To reduce an equivalent fraction to its simplest form, it is necessary to divide both the numerator and the denominator by the same integer. 20/28 is an equivalent fraction of 5/7. It is possible to reduce 20/28 to 10/14 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2, but that is not the simplest form. 10/14 can be reduced to 5/7 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2 again. To ensure that an equivalent fraction is reduced to its simplest form, it is necessary to divide by the largest factor that is part of both of them. Another term for this the Greatest Common Factor, or GCF.
4/4
A fraction where the numerator and denominator have a GCF of 1 is said to be in its simplest form.
Find the greatest common factor between the numerator and the denominator, then divide the numerator by greatest common factor and then divide denominator by greatest common factor, for a new simplified fraction.
When the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1.
the fraction is in its simplest form
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.
The fraction is said to be in its lowest terms when the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is 1
It means dividing the numerator and denominator of the fraction by their greatest common factor.
simplest form
No.
Then the fraction is in its simplest form.
When the numerator is a factor of the denominator.
