What is the greatest common factor for?
The GCF helps in reducing fractions to their simplest form.
What is the term called for simplest form for fractions?
The term for the simplest form for fractions is "lowest terms". If the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator is 1, then the fraction is in lowest terms.
Is 1 to 1 least or greatest on a list of fractions?
Greatest on a list of proper fractions, least on a list of improper fractions.
What patterns do you notice in your equivalent fractions?
Arranged from least to greatest, the numerators and denominators are the times tables of the simplest form.
How do you find fractions from least to greatest?
you have to compare the common fractions
Do you do factors of the greatest common factor or multiples?
When doing fractions it is the greatest common factor (GCF) and the least common multiple (LCM). You want the GCF when you are reducing fractions to their simplest form. When changing the denominators to a common one, you want the LCM.
What do you call listing fractions from least to greatest or greatest to least?
Listing the fractions is ascending (or descending) order.
What fractions form a proportion?
Fractions are ratios. Equivalent fractions form a proportion.
What is the Greatest Common Factor of 14 over 18?
Greatest Common Factor refers to whole numbers, not fractions. The simplest form of 14/18 is 7/9.
What types of problems can be solved using the the greatest common factor?
When reducing fractions to their lowest terms
What is 7.018 7.1811 7.2 7.18?
Least to greatest, they are 7.018, 7.18, 7.1811, 7.2
Why is greatest common factor in math helpful?
Finding the GCF helps to reduce fractions to their simplest form. Knowing the GCF can help to find the LCM, which assists in adding and subtracting fractions.
