A fraction is in simplest form, or reduced form, when the numerator and the denominator have no common factors other than 1. To write a fraction in its simplest form (lowest terms), divide both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor (GCF) that divides evenly into both numbers.
In this unit we shall look at the basic concept of fractions — what they are, what they look like, why we have them and how we use them. We shall also look at different ways of writing down the same fraction.
Fraction. Any part of a whole. When you divide something into equal pieces, each piece is a fraction of the whole thing. Numerator and denominator. Fractions are written as one number...
possible definitions of the meaning of ‘fraction’. Some fraction vocabulary is used in common parlance, sometimes with rather different meanings, or less accuracy, and this can be usefully explored.
1 Definition of a Fraction. Recall that a number is a point on the number line (§5 of Chapter 1). This chapter deals with a special collection of numbers called fractions, which are usually denoted bym n. , where m and n are whole numbers and n 6= 0.
express parts of a whole. In math, we use fractio. fraction consists of two numbers separated by a bar in between them. The bottom number, called the denominator, is the total number of equally divided portions in one whole. The top number, called the numerator, is how many portions you have. The bar represents the operation of division. Numerator.
Writing Fractions in Lowest Terms 1. Divide the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) by common factors Example: 2. Find lowest terms using prime factorization a. Do a prime factorization tree for both numbers in the fraction b. Write the product of each tree into a fraction c. Divide the terms Example: Multiplying Fractions 1.
