improper fractions
Fractions can be simplified when the numerator and denominator have a common factor in them. If both the numerator and denominator have common factors, then we can cancel these factors out. So the simplest for of 18/56 is 9/28.
When adding and subtracting unlike fractions, it is necessary to find a least common denominator. It's the same process as finding an LCM. You can simplify a fraction by finding the GCF of the numerator and denominator and dividing them both by it.
Finding the GCF of the numerator and denominator and dividing them both by it will give you the simplest form of the fraction.
by dividing or multiplying the numerator and the denominator of a fraction with the same numberex:* 1/2 = (1 x 5)/(2 x 5) = 5/10(multiples both numerator and denominator with 5)1/2 and 5/10 are equivalent fractions* 14/35 = (14:7)/(35:7) = 2/5(divide both numerator and denominator with common factor of 14 and 35)14/35 and 2/5 are equivalent fractions
A rational fraction.
It is called an algebraic fraction.
An expression which contains polynomials in both the numerator and denominator.
Both the numerator and denominator are polynomials
There is no specific name. If the numerator and denominator are polynomials in the variable then the question describes an algebraic fraction. But there is no reason at all to assume that they are polynomials. There is no specific phrase that describes sin(x)/x, for example.
numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator
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.
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.
