Not necessarily. And certainly not in a top-heavy (improper) fraction.

What is the largest common denominator of 20 and 15?

The is no "largest" common denominator. For any denominator you find, we can multiply it by a natural number and come up with a larger one. Do you mean LEAST COMMON DENOMINATOR?


What is the greatest common denominator of 12 and 16?

The greatest common denominator is the largest number that is a multiple of the numbers and it is infinite.I think you mean either:The greatest common factor (the largest number which divides the numbers) of 12 and 16 which is 4;orThe lowest common denominator (the smallest number which is divisible by the numbers) of 12 and 16 which is 48.


When the numerators are the same but have different denominator which fraction is the largest?

The one with the smaller number in the denominator. 3/4 is greater than 3/8


How do you put fractions in order when the denominator is the same?

Actually, fractions go into the order by how large they are. This should actually be easier with a denominator. You know that if they all have the same denominator, that the number with the highest numerator is the largest.


How do you get a fraction in its simpliest terms?

Find the largest whole number that will divide into the numerator and the denominator evenly, divide them each.


What is the greatest proper fraction that has 3 different digits?

In a proper fraction the numerator is smaller than the denominator. Since every two-digit number is larger than every one-digit number, there must be a one-digit numerator and two-digit denominator comprising 3 digits total. The greatest fraction will be the one with the largest possible numerator and smallest possible denominator. Choose a numerator of 9 (the largest one-digit number) and a denominator of 10 (the smallest 2-digit number). All 3 digits are different. The answer is 9/10.


What do you do when you divide both the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by the same number in order to reduce the fraction to its lowest term?

You find the largest number that will go into each and divide each by that number.

What is the simplest reduction of the fraction 4over 32?

Divide the top and bottom (nominator and denominator) by the largest number they both can be divided by. In this case 4/32 divide the nominator and denominator by 4. This equals 1/8.


What does denominator?

Denominator - the bottom number of a fraction. In the term "1/2" or "one-half," the one is the numerator (top number) and the two is the denominator. It is what the top number is divided by. Nothing "does" denominator.
