How do you know if a fraction is in simplest form?
A fraction is in its simplest form if its denominator (bottom half of the fraction) and numerator (top half of the fraction) cannot be divided by the same number to equal a fraction with whole numbers in the numerator and denominator. [When you 'cancel' a fraction out (divide it to get a smaller fraction, closer to the simplest form) you must do the same sum to the numerator AND the denominator, so you must be able to divide the numerator by the same number you divide the numerator by, as the fraction cannot contain decimals or remainders (it must be a whole number] e.g. 3/6 is NOT in its simplest form, as you can divide both numbers by 3, meaning that the simplest form would be 1/3 1/3 is in its simplest form, as although you could divide the denominator by 3, you cannot divide the numerator by 3 to equal a whole number.
What is sixth sixtieths in simplest form?
6/16 in simplest form is 3/8. To find simplest form, you must divide the top (numerator) by the same number you divide the bottom (denominator), and they must both go into that number. For 6/16, you divide 6 by 2, then 16 by 2 as well. This gives you 3/8. 3/8 can not be further simplified, because and 8 do not get divided by the same number.
What is 24 over 36 in its simplest form?
24/36 = 2/3 You divide both the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number) by 12 to get the answer. You must always divide the bottom and top by the same number when dividing fractions.
What is the fraction 75 out of 100 reduced in lowest terms?
To find this fraction, you will need to divide the whole fraction by a number. This number must divide 75 into a whole number and 100 into a whole number. So think, what number can divide both 75 and 100? One number is 5. Another is 25. Both work, but let's start with 5:75 divided by 5 = 15100 divided by 5 = 20 So now we have the fraction 15/20. But this is still now in simplest form. We divide the whole fraction by 5 and get 3/4. Now, try putting 75/100 in simplest form using 25 as the divisor for practice.
If you divide the numerator and denminator of a fraction by a common factor will the resulting fraction always be in simplest form?
No! For example: 50/100 the numerator and denominator have a common factor of: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 If you take the number 2, which is one of the smallest common factors, you will be left with: 25/50 which is not in simplest form. But, if you take the largest common factor, 50, and you use this instead, you will end up with: 1/2 which is the simplest form. So, you must divide the numerator and the denominator by the LARGEST common factor for this to be true.
What is 6 12 in decimal form?
0.5 To change a fraction into a decimal you must divide the top number by the bottom number. so your problem would be 6 divided by 12. so you long divide to get the answer of 0.5
A fraction is reduced to its simplest form when the numerator?
For a fraction to be in its simplest form, numerator and denominator must have no common factor.
How could you wirte 28 as a fraction?
28 is an integer and it is rather pointless to write it as a fraction but, if you must, the simplest form is 28/1.28 is an integer and it is rather pointless to write it as a fraction but, if you must, the simplest form is 28/1.28 is an integer and it is rather pointless to write it as a fraction but, if you must, the simplest form is 28/1.28 is an integer and it is rather pointless to write it as a fraction but, if you must, the simplest form is 28/1.
What is 38 percent as a fraction in simplest form?
The simplest form is 19 over 50, but this site does not recognize 50 as a denominator. So the fraction must be written as 38/100.38% as a fraction in its simplest form is 19/50
How do you determine if a fraction is in simplest form?
if the fraction's numerator and denominator cant be divided by any number remembber both numerator and denominator must be divided by the same number
What is the simplest form of 15 over 28 and 45 over 84 and is it equivalent?
15/28 is the simplest form and, by definition, the simplest form must be equivalent to other forms of the ratio.
How do you know whether a number is non-terminating repeating?
A non-terminating repeating number must be rational. When its fractional part is in its simplest form, the denominator must have a prime factor other than 2 or 5.
