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 types of problems can be found using the greatest common factor?
The most frequent use of GCF is in reducing fractions. If you divide the numerator and the denominator by the GCF the result is called reduced.
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 it called when a numerator and a denominator have only 1 as a common factor?
The fraction is in its simplest form.
How can knowing the greatest common factor and lowest common factor help when you add subtract and multiply fractions?
The least common factor of any set of numbers is 1, so that doesn't help at all. Finding the GCF of the numerator and denominator and dividing them by it will help to simplify a fraction. Finding the least common multiple of the denominators (called the least common denominator) will help when you add and subtract fractions. None of those are needed to multiply fractions.
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."
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."
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.
Is 10 13 an improper fraction?
Fractions with a numerator greater or equal to the denominator are called improper fractions.So that 10/13 is a proper fraction since the numerator, 10, is smaller than the denominator, 13.
Fractions-the numerator is lager than the denominator?
These are called improper fractions. For example 3/2.
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
What is A fraction where the numerator denominator or both are also fractions is called?
It is called a complex fraction.
