When reducing a fraction, find the GCF of the numerator and denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.

What is 14.75 as a fraction?
14.75 as a fraction is 1475/100. Reducing that by prime factorization gives you 59/4. Converting that into proper fractions gives you 14 and 3/4.
What is the prime fraction of 64?
The prime factorization of 64 is 26
When a numerator and its denominator are relatively prime a fraction is in what?
simplest form
What is a vulgar fraction in the lowest term?
It is a top heavy fraction in which the numerator and denominator are co-prime.
How can you tell when a fraction with prime denominator terminates and when it repeats?
If the denominator is 2 or 5 it terminates. Otherwise it repeats.
What is the prime factorization of both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction?
Take 30/42, for example. The prime factorization of the numerator (30) is 2 x 3 x 5. The prime factorization of the denominator (42) is 2 x 3 x 7. This will help you find the GCF or the LCM.
What fractions could become a repeating decimal?
Any fraction with a denominator which has a prime factorization that includes any prime other than 2 or 5, it can produce repeating decimals.If the prime factorization of the denominator does not include 2 nor 5 then the decimal representation will be a repeating decimal.
How can you use prime factorization to write a fraction in simplest form?
The idea is to divide numerator and denominator of a fraction by any common factors. Prime factorization is simply used to find all possible factors.
What is prime factorization in fractions?
You use a factor tree, for the 2 denominators. Yes that is correct the answer on the top but it says 2 denominators. This is the real correct way To do Prime Factorization in fractions first prime factorization the numerator and then the denominator. then put the prime factorization of the numerator on top and put the prime factorization of the denominator on the bottom like fractions.
What is 14.75 as a fraction?
14.75 as a fraction is 1475/100. Reducing that by prime factorization gives you 59/4. Converting that into proper fractions gives you 14 and 3/4.
Prime factorization of the numerator and the denominator?
140/700
What is the prime fraction of 64?
The prime factorization of 64 is 26
What can you say about the prime factorization of the denominator of the rational number 34 5478?
If that's 34/5478, I can say the prime factorization of the denominator is 2 x 3 x 11 x 83
What is the prime factorization of the denominator of 0.5?
2 x 5 = 10
How do you know that a fraction is in its lowest term?
When you can no longer find the a common factor between the numerator and the denominator. This can be done by prime factorization (easy to understand, but laborious), or by Euclid's Algorithm, which is much faster (especially for larger numbers).
What is the use of prime factorization?
Prime factorization helps to find the greatest common factor and the least common multiple which, in turn, help in the adding, subtracting and reducing of fractions.
If the numerator of a fraction is a prime number can the fraction be simplied?
Yes, if the denominator is a multiple of the numerator. No, if not.
