Does simplest form always has a numerator of 1?
no
What is the common denominator of 100 and 150?
The common denominator of any two or more whole numbers, such as 100 and 150, will always be one (1) because 'common denominator' refers to the denominators of two or more fractions or mixed numbers, not whole numbers. So, a set of whole numbers (x,x) would have to be converted to their fraction equivalents, i.e., x/1, which will always yield a denominator of 1.
Is any factor of 3 or 9 as a denominator always going to be a repeating fraction?
Mostly. Watch out for the exceptions like 3/3 or 18/9.
Greatest common denominator of 66 and 93?
There is no greatest common denominator, for whatever figure someone comes up with for the greatest common denominator, I can always add the lowest common denominator of 66 and 93 (which is 2046) and get an even higher common denominator.
What is the lowest common denominator of 7 and 9?
There is none because Least Common Denominator (or LCD) refers to the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators of two or more fractions or mixed numbers. Even if you converted your whole numbers (x) to their fraction equivalents (x/1), the LCD would always be 1.
What is always true about the numerator and denominator of a fraction in simplest form?
Their GCF is 1.
What do you do when there is no GCF of a fraction?
There is always a GCF, even if it's only 1. If the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
What is a denominator and numerator on a fraction?
On a fraction: 1 <---------numerator ------- 2 <------------denominator Remember that the "D"enominator is always "D"own on the bottom.
Why in improper fraction the numerator is greater than denominator?
That is why it is called an improper fraction because a proper or a common fraction always has its numerator less than its denominator.
Is the numerator the top or bottom of a fraction?
The numerator is on top. The bottom is the denominator. I always remember D for down (denominator)
Is 9 over 9 an improper fraction?
Yes. If the numerator (on top) is higher or equal to the denominator (bottom) than its an improper fraction. If the numerator and denominator are the same then the fraction is considered a whole number and always comes out 1. If the numerator is higher than the denominator then you must divide the numerator by the denominator.
Is a fraction with a numerator that is greater then or equal to the denominator?
the numerator always has to be less than the denominator and if its equal like 5 to 5 that is 1
When you divide the numerator of a fraction by the denominator you always get a decimal that ends?
Not necessarily.
What is the simalarites betweenproer and improper fractions?
Both proper and improper fractions have a numerator and a denominator. In a proper fraction the numerator is always less than the denominator. In an improper function the numerator is greater than the denominator
How could you use the relationship between the numerator and denominator of fractions equivalent to one-half to determine if a fraction is less than one-half?
If a fraction is equivalent to one-half then the numerator is always half the denominator. Or, the double the numerator is the denominator. So, given any other fraction, p/q, if 2p < q then the fraction < 1/2 if 2p = q then the fraction = 1/2 if 2p > q then the fraction > 1/2
Why is a fraction with 13 as denominator always in simplest form?
It's not. The improper fraction 26/13 is not in its simplest form.
Is a fraction less than 1 have a numerator that is less than its denominator?
Yes, a fraction less than 1 will always have a numerator that is less than its denominator. This is because the value of a fraction decreases as the numerator gets smaller in relation to the denominator. For example, 1/2 is smaller than 3/2 or 4/2.
