True, honey! If either the numerator or the denominator of a fraction is a prime number, then the fraction is already in its simplest form because prime numbers can only be divided by 1 and themselves. So, no need to simplify further, darling!
Same as a proper fraction. You check whether you can divide numerator and denominator by the same number.
You multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator of the original fraction to get the numerator of your new fraction. The denominator stays the same as the original. Then you simplify into lowest terms.
Knowing factors will help you find a GCF. To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.
Yes I can. I would divide the numerator and the denominator of that fraction each by 125 .
