Is the least common denominator of two fraction is always greater than the denominator of the fractions?
Not always. If one denominator is a multiple of the other, the LCD will be the larger one.
What are regular fractions?
Regular fractions are the fractions with a numerator that is less than the denominator and irregular fractions are fractions with a denominator less than the numerator.
Can be the improper fractions less than 1?
Improper fractions are always > 1. Reason, the numerator (top) is always larger than the denominator(bottom). NB Improper fractions is the correct term for 'Top Heavy' fractions.
What are the different forms of fractions?
1. Proper Fractions where the numerator is less than denominator. 2. Improper Fractions or top-heavy fractions where the numerator is greater than denominator.
What is the difference in proper fractions and improper fractions?
Proper fractions are factions with a numerator lower than the denominator but an improper fraction has a greater numerator than the denominator
What is the simalarites betweenproer and improper fractions?
Both proper and improper fractions have a numerator and a denominator. In a proper fraction the numerator is always less than the denominator. In an improper function the numerator is greater than the denominator
What are the types of fractions?
The two types of fractions are proper fractions, in which the numerator is smaller than the denominator, and improper fractions, in which the numerator is equal to or larger than the denominator.
What do you call fractions when the numerator is larger than the denominator?
improper fractions
What are fractions called when the numerator is greater than or equal from the denominator?
improper fractions
Is ten-thirteens less than one-half?
To compare two or more fractions, you must convert them to a common denominator, in this case, the denominator 26.
When you multiply a whole number by a fraction is the product always less than the original whole number?
A number multiplied by 1 is equal to the original number. So: For fractions where the numerator (top) is LESS than the deonominator (bottom), the product will be LESS than the original number, because the fraction has a value of LESS than 1. For fractions where the numerator is MORE than the denominator, the product will be MORE than the original number because the fraction has a value of MORE than 1. For fractions where the numerator and denominator are the same, the product will be the same as the original number because the fraction has a value equal to 1.
What are common fractions?
When the numerator is less than the denominator then it is a common fraction but if the numerator is greater than the denominator then it is an improper fraction.
What fractions whose value is greater than or equal to 1 called?
Fractions that are greater than one are known as improper or 'top-heavy' fractions as the numerator is greater than the denominator.
What fractions are less than a third?
any fraction where the denominator is larger than 3
How do you use comparing mixed fractions?
Assuming the fractions are "normalized" (the fractional part is less than 1): First compare the integer part. If the integer part is the same, you need to compare the fractions. If the denominator of the fractions is different, you have to convert to a common denominator. The simplest way to find a common denominator is to multiply both denominators (i.e., you don't need the LEAST common denominator - any common denominator will do).
How do you subtract fractions when the first numerator is smaller than the other numerator?
if they have the same denominator just subtract it . if it doesn't than find the denominator.
Is the fraction with the greater than or less than the fraction with the lesser denominator?
To compare two fractions, you convert them to equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then you can compare their numerators (top parts). In that case, the fraction with the larger numerator is larger.
