What else can I help you with?
When multiplying fractions the shortcut process of finding common factors that divide evenly into at least one of the numerator and one of the denominator is called?
It is called simplification [by cancelling common factors].
What is it called when The denominator is a common multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions?
the least common denominator
What is a fraction called when the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is one?
The fraction is said to be in its simplest form
How can you use the greatest common factor to find the simplest form?
To simplify or reduce an improper fraction, you can divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of both numbers. For example, if you are given the fraction 36/60; the common factors of the numerator (36) are 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, and 18. The common factors of the denominator are 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 12, and 20. We can see that 12 is the largest common factor between the numerator and denominator. Divide the numerator and denominator by 12: 36 / 12 = 3, and 60 / 12 = 5. We see that the fraction reduces to 3/5.
How can using the GCF and LMC help you you add subtract and multiply fractions?
In order to add or subtract fractions, the denominator (bottom number) has to be the same. In order to make it the same, you find the LCM and multiply the fraction by whatever is necessary to make the denominator the LCM. FOR EXAMPLE: 1/3 + 2/5 The LCM of 3 and 5 is 15. To make the 3 in 1/3 15, you multiply the whole fraction by 5 over 5 (it simplifies to 1 so you aren't really changing the fraction by multiplying it by 1). 1/3 * 5/5 is 5/15 You multiply 2/5 times 3 over 3 using the same principle 2/5 * 3/3 is 6/15 NOW you can add 5/15 and 6/15 to get 11/15.
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 is it called when a fractions numerator is greater than or equal to its denominator?
A top-heavy, improper or vulgar fraction.
What is it called when a fraction with a numerator that is greater than or equal to its denominator?
An improper fraction has a numerator greater than the denominator. When the numerator and denominator are equal, that's called "1."
The values used with fractions are called?
The numerator and the denominator.
What is fraction in which the numerator is smaller than the denominator is called?
These fractions are called proper fractions.
What is a fraction that has a numerator greater than or equals to its denominator?
An improper fraction has a numerator greater than the denominator. When the numerator and denominator are equal, that's called "1."
Why you consider improper fractions right if in fractions numerator is less than or equal to denominator?
The numberator does not have to be less than or equal to the denominator in a fraction.If the numerator is less than the denominator, it is a "proper" fraction.If the numerator is equal to the denominator, it is the integer 1.But the numerator can be bigger than the denominator, and it is then called an improper fraction.
What is a fraction whose numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator?
An improper fraction has a numerator greater than the denominator. When the numerator and denominator are equal, that's called "1."
How do you put fractions into opposite fractions?
To put fractions into opposite fractions, all you have to do is flip it so that the numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator. This is called a reciprocal. Example: The opposite of 3/5 is 5/3
Fractions-the numerator is lager than the denominator?
These are called improper fractions. For example 3/2.
What is A fraction where the numerator denominator or both are also fractions is called?
It is called a complex fraction.
A fraction whose numerator is greater than or equal to its denominator?
An improper fraction has a numerator greater than the denominator. When the numerator and denominator are equal, that's called "1."
