By factoring the numerator and denominator in a fraction, you can then divide common multiples out and reduce the fraction to the simplest terms. Perhaps an example might be of help.
If we have 66/99, we can see that 66 = 2 x 3 x 11, and 99 = 3 x 3 x 11. We can divide the 3 and the 11 out of both the numerator and denominator, and have 2/3 as the answer. The 66/99 = 2/3. Factoring the numerator and denominator allow us to see what we can divide out to reduce the fraction.
A rational fraction.
No.
All fractions with integer numerator and non-zero integer denominator are rational, and conversely.
In a fraction, the numerator represent the part out of the denominator which represents the total. Neither need be rational (or even real).
A rational number can be written as a fraction, with integers in the numerator and the denominator.
You will get a rational fraction.
Anything where the numerator and the denominator are the same value.
When the denominator is a factor of the numerator. If there is 2x in the numerator and denominator these terms cancel.
A rational number is simply a number that can be expressed as a fraction, with integer numerator and denominator. Such a number can be positive, negative, or zero.A rational number is simply a number that can be expressed as a fraction, with integer numerator and denominator.

A rational fraction.
A proper fraction.
Yes, 5.85 is a rational number. A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are both integers, and the denominator is not zero. In this case, 5.85 can be expressed as the fraction 585/100, where both the numerator and denominator are integers. Therefore, 5.85 is a rational number.
The number 5.123 is rational. A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are integers and the denominator is not zero. In this case, 5.123 can be expressed as the fraction 5123/1000, where both the numerator (5123) and the denominator (1000) are integers.
an improper fraction
No.
Proper fraction - A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the top number) is less that the denominator (the bottom number). Proportion - An equation stating that two ratios are equivalent is called a proportion.
The number 1/14 is a rational number. A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are both integers. In this case, 1/14 can be written as a fraction with 1 as the numerator and 14 as the denominator, making it a rational number.
