Example: 16/48 x 2/3
The GCF of 16 and 48 is 16, so 16 can be divided into both numbers, simplifying 16/48 to 1/3. The problem then becomes 1/3 x 2/3 = 2/9
This is because dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
Because multiplying or dividing them by the same NON-ZERO number does not alter their ratio.
Dividing a friction is multiplying by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of a fraction is the numerator and the denominator switched around.
by dividing the numerator by the denominator
To write 3.2 as a fraction, we can convert it to its equivalent fraction form by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 10. This gives us 32/10. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, we get the simplified fraction 16/5.

Because doing so is equivalent to multiplying or dividing by x/x, which can be cancelled down to 1.
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.
Yes. One method for dividing fractions is to multiply the numerator fraction by the reciprocal of the denominator fraction.
The numerator is the first nuber and the denominatoris the second.Ex. 1/2=1÷2=0.5
123.456 is changed into fraction by multiplying and dividing it by a number such that both denominator and numerator don't contain decimal. Multiplying and dividing by 100, we get 123.456 as 123456/100.
Dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor is how you simplify a fraction.
