'26' has only two factors, they are '2' & '13' ; 2 x 13 = 26 or 13 x 2 = 26
Both '2' and '13' are prime numbers.
To reduce a fraction to its lowest terms divide the numerator and the denominator by their highest common factor as for example 12/16 = 3/4
5/9 is a lowest term. They share no common factors.
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
No.
The greatest factor of a single term is the term itself.
17/30 is in lowest reduced terms because 17 and 30 are coprime- that is, the only factor they share is 1. This is because 17 is already prime, and 17 is not a factor of 30.
five eighths is the lowest term. You now this because the two numbers only share the factor of 1, and if 1 is the only shared factor the fraction is at it's lowest term.
The GCF is 1. 6/5 is in its lowest term.
A fraction is said to be in its lowest terms if the numerator and denominator are both integers, the denominator is greater than zero, and the two do not have any factor in common other than 1 (ie they are co-prime).
59 is prime so the lowest term is 59/100.
Make note that a term doesn't have to be a number. It can be the expression, like (3x - 6). In order to consider a term of the factorization of the term to be the factor, it must be prime. Therefore, we call each factor in a term "prime factor". Here is the example: 2x + 6 has a factor of 2. Then, we can factor out 2x + 6 to get 2(x + 3)
Find the highest common factor of the numerator and the denominator and divide the factor into both of them to change the fraction into its lowest terms.
Yes, they have no common factor.
2/5
The greatest common factor is 5, so 15/35 = 3/7. 3 and 7 are prime; this cannot be reduced any further.
29/36 is in lowest terms already, because 29 is a prime number.
Divide the numerator and the denominator by their highest common factor.
