simplest form
1) You use the Euclidian algorithm to find the greatest common factor between the numerator and the denominator. 2) You divide numerator and denominator by this greatest common factor. This will give you an equivalent fraction in simplest terms.
If the numerator is greater than the denominator then it is an improper fraction as for example 5/3 but if the numerator is less than the denominator then it is a common fraction as for example 3/4
-- Find any common factor of the numerator and denominator, and divide numerator and denominator by it. -- Keep doing that until the numerator and denominator no longer have any common factor except ' 1 '. The fraction is then in its simplest form.
To reduce a fraction to its lowest terms divide the numerator and the denominator by their highest common factor
The fraction will be in its simplest form when the highest common factor of the numerator and denominator is 1
When a the GCF of the numerator and denominator of a fraction is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
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
simplest form
It means dividing the numerator and denominator of the fraction by their greatest common factor.
Then the fraction is in its simplest form.
