What else can I help you with?
If the numerator of a fraction is a prime number can the fraction be simplied?
Yes, if the denominator is a multiple of the numerator. No, if not.
What the top of the number of a fraction?
The top number of a fraction is the numerator. The bottom number is the denominator. In the fraction 1/5, the number 1 is the numerator, and the number 5 is the denominator.
If the numerator and denominator of a fraction are prime numbers is the fraction in simplest form and why?
Yes. If the numerator and denominator of a fraction are prime, the fraction is in simplest form. The reason is that each number has only two factors, 1 and the number itself. For that reason, it is not possible for the numerator and denominator to have any factors (other than 1) in common.
When having a fraction the composite number the numerator and a prime number the denominator is it simplest form?
You can be sure only if it is not a top heavy fraction. For example, 12/3 has a composite numerator and a prime denominator. But its simplest from is 4.
How do you put a fraction in to simplest form?
You put a fraction in simplest form by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. If the either the numerator or denominator is a prime number, the fraction cannot be simplified.
If the numerator of a fraction is a prime number can the fraction be simplified?
If the numerator of a fraction is a prime number, then the fraction cannot be simplified any further if the denominator is not a factor of the numerator. This is because a prime number has only two factors: 1 and itself. Therefore, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
Can you assume that any fraction is in the simplest form if either the numerator or the denominator is a prime number?
No.
Why or why not can a fraction be simplified if the numerator is a prime number?
"7" is a prime number. But you can simplify 7/14, 7/21,/7/28, and so on. Answer: If the denominator is also a multiple of the prime number, then the fraction can be simplified; otherwise, it cannot. To simplify any fraction, the numerator and denominator must have a factor in common, as in the examples above.
If either the numerator or the denominator of a fraction is prime number then the fraction must be in its simplest form.true or faulse?
True, honey! If either the numerator or the denominator of a fraction is a prime number, then the fraction is already in its simplest form because prime numbers can only be divided by 1 and themselves. So, no need to simplify further, darling!
When a numerator and its denominator are relatively prime a fraction is in what?
simplest form
What is a fraction who's numerator is one less that it's denominator and both the numerator and denominator are prime numbers?
It is 2/3.
What is a fraction when it's numerator and it denominator are relitively prime?
The fraction is said to be in its simplest form.
