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.
Describe how finding the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator of a fraction can help reduce the fraction?
Well, honey, finding the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is like finding that one friend who always has your back. By identifying the largest number that both the top and bottom can be divided by, you can simplify the fraction to its lowest terms. It's like decluttering your closet - getting rid of the unnecessary stuff to make things simpler and more efficient.
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
Is a mixed fraction bigger than a regular fraction?
Yes it is. A regular fraction is a fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator, thus the value of the fraction will always be less than one. Note that a fraction with it's numerator bigger than the denominator does not count as a regular fraction; it is called a improper fraction. Whereas a mixed fraction is a regular fraction with a whole number at the left that is at least one. Thus, the value of a mixed fraction will always be more than one.
How do you unsimplified a fraction?
To unsimplify a fraction, you need to find an equivalent fraction with a larger denominator. This is typically done by multiplying both the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the same number. By doing so, you can expand the fraction to a form that may be more familiar or easier to work with. Remember that the value of the fraction remains the same, even after unsimplifying it.
When you write a fraction in simplest form the numerator and denominator always or never have 1 as their only common factor?
Always
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.
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.
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

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.
