If the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
4/10 = 2/5 as a fraction in its simplest form
A fraction in its simplest form has no more common factors. In this case, 231 and 798 both have a digit sum that can divide by 3, and so we know they both have 3 as a factor. That means that 231/798 is not yet in its simplest form. Dividing top and bottom by 3 gives 77/266 which is simpler.
77 0.54 = 54/100 = 27/50 77 = 27 + 50
p/q form
Yes. Although a negative fraction would have to involve addinig negative unit fractions. A positive fraction is a number of the form x/y where x and y are positive integers. The simplest solution is to add x lots of 1/y.
The fraction will be in its simplest form when the highest common factor of the numerator and denominator is 1
4/10 = 2/5 as a fraction in its simplest form
A fraction is in its simplest form if its denominator (bottom half of the fraction) and numerator (top half of the fraction) cannot be divided by the same number to equal a fraction with whole numbers in the numerator and denominator. [When you 'cancel' a fraction out (divide it to get a smaller fraction, closer to the simplest form) you must do the same sum to the numerator AND the denominator, so you must be able to divide the numerator by the same number you divide the numerator by, as the fraction cannot contain decimals or remainders (it must be a whole number] e.g. 3/6 is NOT in its simplest form, as you can divide both numbers by 3, meaning that the simplest form would be 1/3 1/3 is in its simplest form, as although you could divide the denominator by 3, you cannot divide the numerator by 3 to equal a whole number.
A sum can't be simplified, unless you are adding like terms.
If you need help with sum in simplest form you would need to provide the sum. Simplest form means that the sum is simplified to the least possible form.

When in doubt, simplify. Whenever it is possible, simplify.
7 1/5 ........... easy............... a mixed number fraction..... how simple.. FOR A TEN YEAR OLD I MEAN!!!!
