Let us say that you have the fraction 48/8 and you would like to simplify it. If you can find the multiplication list for the number 8, you will see that 6 x 8 = 48. Hence, 48/8 = 6. But maybe it doesn't work out that neatly all the time. Perhaps you have 49/8 as a fraction. It still may be helpful to make that into 6 and an eighth.

How do you find unknown denominators?

To find unknown denominators in a fraction, you can use cross-multiplication if you're working with an equation involving fractions. Set up the equation so that the fractions are equal, then cross-multiply to create an equation without fractions. You can then solve for the unknown denominator. Alternatively, if you're simplifying a fraction, you may need to find a common denominator by identifying the least common multiple of the denominators involved.
