Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator. If the GCF is greater than 1, divide both numbers by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
Example 30/42.
The GCF of 30 and 42 is 6.
The reduced fraction is 5/7.
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator. If the GCF is greater than 1, divide the numerator and denominator by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
i think divisibility rules help with fractions because it helps you reduce the fraction to make i a simple fraction.
Multiply straight across and cross reduce when necessary
If the fractions do not all have the same denominator, find a common multiple of the denominators (ideally the lowest common multiple) and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with this denominator. Now with all the fractions with the same denominator, add together the numerators. Finally, reduce the fraction to simplest terms, converting any improper fraction to a mixed number.
Reduce means 'cancel down'. e.g. 4/100 can be reduced. Both '4' and '100;' have factors of '4' So divide both numbers by '4' Hence 4/100 = 1/25 (The reduced / simplest form).
Two fractions are equivalent if they can be reduced to the same number. For example, 2/3 and 4/6 are equivalent because 4/6 will reduce to 2/3.
you have to reduce it.reduce means to get smaller
With a lot of difficulty......
12/4
Reduce means 'cancel down'. e.g. 4/100 can be reduced. Both '4' and '100;' have factors of '4' So divide both numbers by '4' Hence 4/100 = 1/25 (The reduced / simplest form).
Finding the LCM will make adding and subtracting fractions easier.
To reduce fractions
It helps to reduce fractions.
You could, if you wished to.
It helps to reduce fractions.
It helps to reduce fractions.
Reduce it, if possible.
You reduce fractions to lowest form, if necessary, but you don't reduce whole numbers.
