How does finding the GCF help you simplify a fraction?
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.
When multiplying fractions you can divide out common factors so that the product will be in what?
simplest form
Find the LCD that would eliminate the fractions in this equation 5x divide 7 plus 1 divide 14 equals 7 divide 28?
28 in this case.
Are fractions and decimals numbers that represent parts of a whole?
yes they do and fractions also represent divide like if you had 1/2 you would have half of a whole!
LCD of two or more fractions mean?
LCD is the Lowest Common Denominator which is the lowest number into which the denominators of all the fractions will each divide exactly. Each of the fractions can then be converted to an equivalent fraction with the new denominator which then allows the fractions to be added and/or subtracted.
How do you divide with a negative fraction?
Divide as you would divide positive fractions. That is, convert both fractions to positive, then do the division. After that, apply the rules for dividing positive and negative numbers. For example, if one of the fractions is positive and the other negative, the answer will be negative.
How do you divide negative fractions from positive fractions?
You divide the equivalent positive numbers. Then you add a negative sign to the result.
Does dividing by a negative equal multiplying?
No, it only multiplies when you divide by fractions
How do you divide negative fractions?
If they are both negative, your answer is going to be positive anyways, so just make multiply them as they are example: -2/3 x -3/4= 6/12=1/2
How do you convert negative fractions into decimals?
You remove the negative sign long enough to divide the numerator by the denominator then put the negative back on its place value
Can negative numbers be in a fraction?
Yes, negative numbers can be in a fraction. Fractions can have negative numerators or negative denominators, or both. For example, -1/2, 3/-4, and -5/-7 are fractions that include negative numbers.
What does it mean to multiply and divide fractions?
multiply and divide fractions!-.-
Why can you not divide fractions?
We deny the premise and maintain that you can divide fractions.
What fractions are equivalent to 28 over 42?
28/42 divide both by 2 = 14/21 divide both by 7 = 2/3
Video of how to divide fractions?
You can search YouTube for "divide fractions", and find several.However, it isn't really that complicated; just remember the following simple rules:To divide one fraction by another fraction, take the reciprocal of the second fraction, then multiply.If you have mixed fractions, convert them both to improper fractions, then proceed as above (multiply by the reciprocal).
How do you divide mixed fractions with a negative mixed fraction?
"they" i don't know. go ask some one ales
How do you you reduce a fraction with a negative number as a numerator?
To reduce a fraction with a negative number as a numerator, you can first simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator. Then, divide both the numerator and denominator by their GCD and the negative sign remains unchanged. This will result in a reduced fraction with a negative numerator.
