No. If there are larger common factors, use them instead. It will be much quicker. The most efficient is to use the highest common factor (HCF).
For example, to simplify 70/100
you could use the prime factors 2 and 5 to do
70/100 = 35/50 = 7/10
or
you could simply go for 10, as a common factor so that 70/100 = 7/10.

What is the ratio of prime numbers to composite numbers in this list 101112131415161718192021?
what is the ratio or prime numbers to composite numbers in this list/10,11,2,13,14,15,16,1,7,18,19,20,21
Is the ratio of 2 prime numbers in lowest form?
2:3
What is the ratio of the prime numbers to the composite numbers 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10?
Prime numbers are: 2 3 5 7 Composite numbers are: 4 6 8 9 10 So the ratio is: 4 to 5
What is the ratio of 16.83 19.78 22.73?
The numbers, when converted to integers are co-prime. So there is no simplification. The ratio is 1683 : 1978 : 2273.
What is the ratio of 1 digit prime numbers and 1 digit composite number?
4/4 = 1
What is the ratio of the number of one-digit prime numbers and the number of one-digit composite numbers?
The ratio of the number of one-digit prime numbers to the number of one-digit composite numbers is one to one. The one-digit prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, and 7. The one-digit composite numbers are 4, 6, 8, and 9. Therefor, the ratio is 4:4, which simplifies to 1:1.
Ratio of square numbers to numbers with 4 factors?
As N approaches infinity the ratio of squares less than N to numbers with 4 factors less than N approaches 0. This means that in the customary way of defining it, the ratio you're interested in is 0 (although that should be taken with a grain of salt - it certainly doesn't mean that there are 0 square numbers). The number of squares less than N is approximately √N. Rather than calculating the ratio we're interested in, we're going to calculate a calculate a ratio guaranteed to be greater: the ratio of squares to numbers that are twice a prime number (which are some, but not all, of the numbers with 4 factors). There are approximately N/ln N prime numbers less than N, by the prime number theorem. So there are N/(2 ln N/2) prime numbers less than N/2, which can be doubled to get a number less than N that's twice a prime number. The ratio is therefore √N(2 ln N/2)/N, which is O(ln N/√N). √N grows much faster than ln N, and in the limit this ratio will get close to zero. So the ratio we're actually interested in, which is even less than this ratio, will also approach zero.
What numbers cannot be made into a ratio?
An irrational number refers to one that can not be written as a ratio, or fraction, between two whole numbers.
Numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers are called?
They are called irrational numbers; numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of integers are called rational numbers. Some common irrational numbers are pi (3.14159...) and the square root of two.
What is 35 to 45 ratio?
35:45 ratio can be simplified by dividing both numbers by 5 to get 7:9 ratio.
How do you simplify the ratio 21 to 33?
1) You look for a common factor between the two numbers. Prime factorization can help here. 2) You divide both numbers by this factor. Three goes into both 21 and 33. 21 to 33 can be simplified to 7 to 11.
What level of measurement is decimal numbers?
They are ratio scale.
What ratio is equal to 88.8?
A ratio is comparing 2 numbers- such as 2 to I. You only gave us ONE number- 88.8. that is not a ratio. If you meant that to be 88:8, then the ratio is 10:1.
What is the difference between ratio and rational numbers?
Rational numbers are equivalent to ratios of two integers (the denominator being non-zero). A ratio is a relationship between two set of values. For example, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is pi, which is not a rational number.
What ratio is equivalent to 1 over 20?
Multiply both numbers of the ratio, 1:20, by any non-zero number. You will have an equivalent ratio.
Why law of definite proportion is a simple whole number ratio why not natural numbers as ratio does not include zero?
It could certainly be described as a simple ratio of positive integers.
How will you describe rational numbers?
Rational numbers are numbers which can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, p and q (where q >0), in the form p/q.
