To simplify fractions to lowest terms: [1.] Find all the factors of the numerator. (all the numbers that go evenly into the top number.) In this case, 1, 2, and 4. [2.] From that group, find the biggest factor of the denominator. (the biggest number that goes evenly into the bottom number also.) In this case, 2. By now, you should have a number that goes into both the numerator and the denominator. This is called the GCF, or Greatest Common Factor. [3.] Divide the current numerator with the GCF to get the top number of your simplified fraction. new numerator: 2. [4.] Divide the current denominator with the GCF to get the bottom number of your simplified fraction. new denominator: 3. Your simplified fraction is 2 over 3. Hope this helps! :)
Reduce. 4/10 simplified is 2/5
2/8 4/16 6/24
1/4
By ignoring the whole numbers. 1 and 6/8 = 1 and 3/4
1 over 3
Divide both numbers by 3, their least common denominator. Result: 3 over 4
If it is 25% put the 25 over 100 you get 25/100 simplify it and get 1/4
Multiply the numerators of both fractions. That's the numerator of the result.Also, multiply the denominator of both fractions. That's the denominator of the result. Simplify as appropriate. Actually, it helps to simplify before doing the actual multiplication.
No becuase if you simplify the fractions, it would turn out as the 4/5 = 12/15 and the 2/3 = 10/15
4/10 = _ +5 6/9=_ _______
Reduce. 4/10 simplified is 2/5
2/8 4/16 6/24
56/4 238/17 434/31
To multiply fractions multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together and simplify the result: 3/7 × 4/9 = (3×4)/(7×9) = 12/63 = 4/21
9/36 14/56 3/12 110/440
no
To multiple fractions, multiple the numerators (top numbers) together, and the denominators (bottom numbers) together, and simplify the result: -8/9 x -4/7 = 32/63
