Best Answer

If a is an integer then 4 divides 4a2 so it cannot be a prime.

If a = 0 then 4a2 = 0 and cannot be simplified further

If a = 1 then 4a2 = 4 = 2*2

If a is an integer > 1, then 4a2 = 2*2*a*a

If a is not an integer, then there are too many possible options for the answer.

What is 177 simplified?

To simplify 177, we need to find its prime factors. 177 is not divisible by 2, but it can be divided by 3, resulting in 59. Since 59 is a prime number, the prime factorization of 177 is 3 x 59. Therefore, 177 is already in its simplest form.

Why or why not can a fraction be simplified if the numerator is a prime number?

"7" is a prime number. But you can simplify 7/14, 7/21,/7/28, and so on. Answer: If the denominator is also a multiple of the prime number, then the fraction can be simplified; otherwise, it cannot. To simplify any fraction, the numerator and denominator must have a factor in common, as in the examples above.
