Subtract them.
example:
x3
---
x1
Subtract the 1 from the 3 and you get x2 over 1 or just x2
The numerator of the fraction is '2'. The denominator of the fraction is the divisor (the number you were dividing by).
Turn the fraction by which you are dividing upside down, that is make the top number (numerator) the bottom number (denominator) and the original denominator the new numerator); and thenmultiply the fractions.Example:3/7 ÷ 9/14⇒ 3/7 x 14/9 = 42/63= 2/3
Evidently, 12 over 6 is an improper fraction and you can simplify this by dividing the denominator and numerator by 6 (a number that goes into both the denominator and numerator). This gives you 2/1, which as a mixed number is 2.It's 2 basically
It is the denominator and the top number is the numerator
They are both parts of a fraction. The denominator is the bottom number, what the equation is out of, 2/3 , in this case the denominator is the number 3. and the numerator is the number on top, in this case the number 2.
By dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same number is like dividing by 1.
The terms of a fraction are 'Numerator' and 'Denominator.' The numerator is the number atop the dividing line, the denominator is that on the bottom. For example, in 5/7, five is the numerator, and seven is the denominator.
By dividing the denominator into the numerator
This is because dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
The same way as multiplying a whole number by an ordinary fraction: Multiply the numerator (top number) by the whole number and put it over the original denominator (bottom number). This can then be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their highest common factor; or it can be converted into a decimal (which could be a whole number) by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
If you are dividing the numerator and the denominator by the same number (the GCF), it is the same as dividing the fraction by 1, which will leave it unchanged and create the same product.
If it's a fraction then it's the denominator which divides into the numerator
I can't tell if you're asking about the numerator or the denominator.The numerator is the number on top, being divided into.The denominator is the number on bottom, dividing the numerator.
Because multiplying or dividing them by the same NON-ZERO number does not alter their ratio.
Divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number to simplify a fraction. This number must be a common factor of the numerator and the denominator. For example, 50 is a common factor of the numerator and denominator of 350/400. By dividing each by 50, 350/400 can be simplified to 7/8.
The numerator of the fraction is '2'. The denominator of the fraction is the divisor (the number you were dividing by).
We have to put the dividend in the numerator and divisor in the denominator. For e.g, 4 by 8=4/8
