if and only if the denominator is the multiple of the numerator...
in that case, you would have the fraction is the form: x / kx
you can see that when you simplify, you get 1 / k...

What is the circumstances that the Greatest Common Factor be equal to the numerator of a fraction before simplifying?
When the numerator is a factor of the denominator.
What does Cross multiplication mean?
Cross multiplication is when you multiply the denominator of a fraction by the numerator of another fraction. Before you cross multiply you want to see if you can simply the fractions.
How do you times mixed fractions?
My strategy for multiplying mixed fractions: what you need to do is turn the mixed number into an improper fraction before you do any thing else. to do that you need to multiply the denominator with the whole number then add the numerator. now that number will be your numerator the denominator stays the same then you do the same to the other mixed fraction turn it into an improper fraction then once both are like that you multiply the numerators together to find the numerator then you multiply the denominators together to get the denominator then simplify your answer to get the right answer.
Is a percent number an irrational number?
A percent can be represented as a fraction of x/100, and so is not irrational, unless the numerator of the fraction (the # before the %) is itself irrational. For example: 2% is not irrational. 55.443% is not irrational. sqrt(5)% is irrational.
How do you make 3.25 into a fraction?
Everything before a decimal point is the whole number. The part after it will be a fraction. 0.25 is the same as 1/4 so the above integer is 3 1/2 . To make the whole thing improper in its simplest form, you multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator: 2 (denominator) x 3 (whole number) + 1 (numerator). The answer is 7/2

If the numerator is a factor of the denominator.
When multiplying use fraction notification we form products in the numerator and the denominator but do not immediatily calculate the product?
That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct.

What is simplifying before multiplying by dividing the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of another fraction by a common factor?
Example: 16/48 x 2/3 The GCF of 16 and 48 is 16, so 16 can be divided into both numbers, simplifying 16/48 to 1/3. The problem then becomes 1/3 x 2/3 = 2/9
How do you multiply fractions into a whole number?
Multiply the numerator (top) of the fraction by the whole number to make the new numerator.The denominator (bottom) of the fraction of is the new denominator.Simplify, if required.For example, 2/9 * 6New numerator = 2*6 = 12New denominator = 9 so that the answer, before simplifying, is 12/9.Simplify 12/9 to 4/3.
How do you write a negative decimal as a fraction?
just have the fraction be negative(do this by putting the negative symbol on the denominator, numerator or before the fraction).
What is the different between the numerator an the denominator of a fraction?
The difference is in their altitude. The numerator is the number on top of the fraction. The denominator is the number on the bottom. (I remember it by saying that November is before December)
How do you do negative number fraction?
You put the negative to the side, before the fraction, or you put the negative in the numerator, so it's a negative fraction. It can look like this: -1/2 or the negative can be on the side of the fraction
How do you put a percentang in a fraction in its simpeist form?
To convert a percentage to a fraction, take the percentage and write it over 100 - for example 54% becomes 54/100. To simplify, find a number which will divide into both the numerator and the denominator - in this case 2 and divide both numbers by it. So 54/100 becomes 27/50. If the percentage is not a whole number, such as 17.5%, then write it as before, (17.5/100), but this time multiply the numerator and the denominator to make both whole numbers, before simplifying. 17.5/100 = 35/200 = 7/40
What does Cross multiplication mean?
Cross multiplication is when you multiply the denominator of a fraction by the numerator of another fraction. Before you cross multiply you want to see if you can simply the fractions.
What fraction is 15 minutes of a hour?
It is 15/60, which can be simplified, but probably best to see if you need to add or subtract other fractions of an hour before simplifying.
What ratios that measurements must be changed to the same units before simplifying?
All ratio measurements must be in the same units before simplifying
