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.
the least common denominator
The fraction is in its simplest form.
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.
Fractions that are greater than one are known as improper or 'top-heavy' fractions as the numerator is greater than the denominator.
A top-heavy, improper or vulgar fraction.
An improper fraction has a numerator greater than the denominator. When the numerator and denominator are equal, that's called "1."
The numerator and the denominator.
These fractions are called proper fractions.
An improper fraction has a numerator greater than the denominator. When the numerator and denominator are equal, that's called "1."
An improper fraction has a numerator greater than the denominator. When the numerator and denominator are equal, that's called "1."
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.
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.
These are called improper fractions. For example 3/2.
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
It is called a complex fraction.
