What types of problems can be solved using the the greatest common factor?
When reducing fractions to their lowest terms
Fractions from lowest to highest?
Yes, fractions can be ordered from lowest to highest. It's called "ascending order."
How can knowing the GCF and LCM help you when you add subtract and multiply fractions?
Knowing the LCM will help when adding or subtracting unlike fractions. By finding the LCM of the denominators, (called the lowest common denominator) you can convert unlike to like fractions and proceed with the adding or subtracting. Knowing the GCF helps reduce a fraction. By finding the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and dividing both of them by it, you can reduce a fraction to its lowest terms (simplest form). If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form. You can successfully multiply fractions without knowing the GCF or LCM.
How do you divide fractions by fractions?
Poem To Divide Fractions :Dividing fractions is easy as pie flip the second then multiply !~Never flip the first!!!!!!!!!!Ex: 1/7 Divided by 1/5 = 1/7 Divided by 5/1 < you flip the second= 5/7Then Simplify(if told) till you cant simplify No more. :)Inverse the divisor and multiply as for example 3/4 divided by 3/5 becomes 3/4 multiplied by 5/3 = 15/12 or 5/4 in its lowest terms
What is used in changing dissimilar fractions to similar fractions?
