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
How does the situation change if the numerator is less than the denominator?
If the numerator is less than the denominator then it is a common fraction as for example 3/4 and if the numerator is greater than the denominator then it is an improper fraction as for example 6/4
What are the terms of a fraction?
The terms of a fraction are 'Numerator' and 'Denominator.' The numerator is the number atop the dividing line, the denominator is that on the bottom. For example, in 5/7, five is the numerator, and seven is the denominator.
What is an example of an numerator?
1=i, 5=v, 10=x.
How do you figure out a fraction when the numerator is largerthan the denomknator?
If you want to change it to a mixed number, then divide the numerator by the denominator. The remainder is left as the numerator. For example: 6/5 = 1 1/5
