Yes. if its not a smaller denominator than the fraction not in simplest form than it isn't simplest form.

ex.: 14/42=1/6(simplest form)

If you are going to use 14/42 as an example, then 42÷14 would = 1/3rd, not 1/6th.

Thus 14/42nd reduced to simplest form would be 1/3rd.

14/42=2*7/6*7=2/6=1/3

Is the fraction with the greater than or less than the fraction with the lesser denominator?

To compare two fractions, you convert them to equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then you can compare their numerators (top parts). In that case, the fraction with the larger numerator is larger.


If two fractions have the same numerator but different denominators is the fraction with the greater denominator greater than or less than the fraction with the lesser denominator?

When the numerators are the same, the fraction with the higher denominator is less than the fraction with the lower denominator. The denominator indicates the size of the "parts" being shown as a fraction, and the higher the denominator, the smaller those parts are!


When two fractions refer to the same whole explain why the fraction with a lesser denominator has larger pieces than the fraction with a greater denominator?

The fraction with the smaller denominator has fewer pieces in the whole. So each piece must be bigger.


Why is the fraction with the higher denominators lesser then the fraction with the lesser denominator?

The fraction with the higher denominators lesser then the fraction with the lesser denominator because it is being split into more pieces. Think about it this way: you made brownies if you spilt them in half ( 1/2 ) you will have two big pieces but if you split them with a lot of people let's say 25 each person will get a very small brownie. 1/25 is smaller than 1/2 -saf13


What happends when a numarator in a fraction gets bigger?

Are proper or improper fractions rational numbers?

Any fraction, whether proper or improper is, by definition, a rational number. A rational number is one which can be expressed as the ratio of two integers, in other words a fraction. It does not matter whether the fraction is proper (numerator lesser than denominator) or improper (numerator geater than denominator).


What fraction is equivalent to 6 16ths?

To find a fraction equivalent to 6/16, we need to simplify it by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2 in this case. This gives us 3/8 as the simplified fraction equivalent to 6/16. So, 3/8 is the fraction that is equivalent to 6/16.


What fraction is equivalent to 20 over 100?

How do you turn an improper fraction into whole numbers?

7/4 is an improper fraction. The lesser denominator (4) is below the greater numerator (7). Divide the numerator by the denominator to see how many times 4 goes into 7. 7 ÷ 4 = 1 remainder 3 The resulting mixed number is 1 3/4 (one and three over four).


What is the equivalent fraction of 12 over 18?

To find the equivalent fraction of 12 over 18, we need to simplify it by dividing both the numerator (12) and the denominator (18) by their greatest common factor, which is 6. When we divide 12 by 6, we get 2, and when we divide 18 by 6, we get 3. Therefore, the equivalent fraction of 12 over 18 is 2 over 3.
