reduced.(in other words: simplest form) hope this helps. :)
If you multiply or divide an irrational number - such as pi - by ANY rational number (except zero), you will ALWAYS get an irrational number.
If it is a rational fraction, you simply multiply its denominator by the whole number.
Add, subtranct, multiply, divide, do whatever the expression calls for.
It can be known as: Multiply, Divide, Add, and Subtract...and more.
It is not always irrational.
If you divide a rational expression by another rational expression, you will again get a rational expression.

You divide the numerator of the rational expression by its denominator.
If you add, subtract or multiply rational numbers, the result will be a rational number. It will also be so if you divide by a non-zero rational number. But division by zero is not defined.
If you multiply or divide an irrational number - such as pi - by ANY rational number (except zero), you will ALWAYS get an irrational number.
If you divide a rational number by an irrational number, or vice versa, you will ALMOST ALWAYS get an irrational result. The sole exception is if you divide zero (which is rational) by any irrational number.

When you see the words " ... goes into ... ", that always tells you to divide. When you see the word " ... of ... ", that always tells you to multiply.
