No. Although one number is prime, the other number could still have room for the prime to fit in. Example: 11/22 can still be simplified even though 11 is a Prime number. It can be divided by 11. The answer will be 1/2. Remember that a prime number can still be divided by itself.

Can you assume that any fraction is in the simplest form if either the numerator or denominator is a prime number?
No. Both 5/10 and 10/5 are not in their simplest forms.
What's first step is to multiply top and bottom of the conjugate of the denominator?
Either: when given a fraction with a surd as the denominator, rationalising the denominator; Or, when given a fraction with a complex denominator, to make the denominator real.
How do you make a fraction in simplest form when it prime?
If either the numerator or denominator is prime, you need to check that the other is not divisible by that prime. If it is then the prime is a common factor and the fraction simplifies either to a unit factor or an integer. Otherwise, there is no simplification possible. For example, consider the prime 7.7/21 = 1/3 is a unit fraction.63/7 = 9 is an integer.22/7 and 7/22 cannot be simplified.
Can the denominator of an improper fraction be greater than the numerator?
no, if the denominator is larger than the numerator, it is not improper. it is either a proper fraction or a mixed number.

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 either the numerator or the denominator of a fraction is prime number then the fraction must be in its simplest form.true or faulse?

How you reduce fraction and mixed numbers to the lowest terms?
Make sure that whatever you're reducing is a fraction, either proper or improper. Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator. If the GCF is greater than 1, divide both the numerator and the denominator by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.

What is 975 over 1000 in simplest form?
to find the simplest form of a fraction, you can simply half both the denominator and the numerator. if either of them is an odd number, simply find the common factor and divide both the numerator and the denominator by it. so 975 over 1000 simplified= 39 over 40
12 as a fraction simplest form?
Twelve as a fraction in simplest for is either 12/1 or just 12.
Can you assume that any fractionis is in its simplest form if either the numerator or the denominator is a prime number?
Not in all cases. Make sure that whichever one is not the prime number is not a multiple of the prime number.
