Why some fractions with prime denominator terminates and some repeats?
some of them denominatar are divisible by numerator and some or not
A decimal such as 0.111 is a what decimal?
A fraction that repeats continuously without stopping is called a recurring fraction. 0.1 recurring, or 0.111111... is equal to 1/9, or one ninth.A fraction with a prime denominator other than 2 or 5, always produces a recurring decimal.
When a numerator and its denominator are relatively prime a fraction is in what?
simplest form
What is a vulgar fraction in the lowest term?
It is a top heavy fraction in which the numerator and denominator are co-prime.
How do you simplify fractions using prime numbers?
To simplify a fraction using prime numbers, find the prime factors of both the numerator and denominator. Then, divide the numerator and denominator by their common prime factors. Repeat this process until there are no common prime factors left. The resulting fraction will be simplified to its simplest form.
How can you tell if a fraction repeats using the denominator's prime factors?
First reduce the fraction to its simplest form. If the denominator has any prime factor other than 2 or 5 then it is a repeating decimal. Otherwise it terminates.

If the numerator of a fraction is a prime number can the fraction be simplied?
Yes, if the denominator is a multiple of the numerator. No, if not.
What is a fraction when it's numerator and it denominator are relitively prime?
The fraction is said to be in its simplest form.
Is a fraction that has been simplified to its smallest form?
A fraction in which the numerator and denominator are co-prime.
Your numerator and denominator are prime number the sum of your numerator and denominator is 4 what fraction are you?
2/2
When a numerator and its denominator are relatively prime a fraction is in what?
simplest form
If the numerator and denominator of a fraction are prime numbers is the fraction in simplest form and why?
Yes. If the numerator and denominator of a fraction are prime, the fraction is in simplest form. The reason is that each number has only two factors, 1 and the number itself. For that reason, it is not possible for the numerator and denominator to have any factors (other than 1) in common.
How can you be sure a fraction is in its lowest termes?
If the numerator and denominator are co-prime then the fraction is in its lowest terms.
What is a vulgar fraction in the lowest term?
It is a top heavy fraction in which the numerator and denominator are co-prime.
What the top of the number of a fraction?
The top number of a fraction is the numerator. The bottom number is the denominator. In the fraction 1/5, the number 1 is the numerator, and the number 5 is the denominator.
