How do you reduce fractions using the GCF?
You divide the numerator (top) by the GCF to give you the numerator for the reduced fraction. You divide the denominator (bottom) by the GCF to give you the denominator of the reduced fraction. DONE! For example, 27/45 GCF(27, 45) = 9 Numerator of reduced fraction = 27/9 = 3 Denominator of reduced fraction = 45/9 = 5 So reduced fraction = 3/5
What is a reduced fraction where the numerator and denominator have no common factors except for 1?
That IS the reduced or simplified fraction.
What is the definition of reduced fraction?
Where the numerator and denominator have no further common factors
How do you tell if a fraction can be reduced?
If the numerator and denominator have any common factors (other than 1), then both the numerator and denominator can be divided by the common factor, and the new fraction will be equivalent to the original fraction in reduced form.
A fraction is reduced to its simplest form when the numerator?
For a fraction to be in its simplest form, numerator and denominator must have no common factor.
