Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.

How do you write 0.11 as a fraction in lowest terms?

I am not sure what "simlist" means: it is not recognised as a word in the English language.0.11 is, itself, a fraction. It is a fraction in decimal form rather than in the form of a ratio. However, that does not stop it being a fraction. Its equivalent, in rational form, is 11/100 and you cannot simplify that.


Fraction in lowest terms?

To make sure your fraction is in its lowest terms, find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its lowest terms. If the GCF is greater than 1, divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF to reduce the fraction.Example: 30/42The GCF of 30 and 42 is 66 into 30 is 5, 6 into 42 is 730/42 = 5/7


How you reduce fraction and mixed numbers to the lowest terms?

Make sure that whatever you're reducing is a fraction, either proper or improper. Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator. If the GCF is greater than 1, divide both the numerator and the denominator by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.


How does simplifying works and why?

simplifying is when you have a fraction and you want to turn it into lowest terms ex: 2/4 = 1/2 I'm not sure why but I'm pretty sure its not a rule, if they don't ask you to simplify you don't have to


What is 7 1 2 as a fraction in its lowest term?

To express 7 1/2 as a fraction in its lowest terms, we first convert the whole number 7 to an improper fraction as 7/1. Then, we add the fraction 1/2 to get 7 1/2 as 15/2. This fraction is already in its simplest form, as 15 and 2 do not share any common factors other than 1.
