How do you simplify the fraction \( \frac{20}{24} \)?

Back

To simplify \( \frac{20}{24} \), divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4: \( \frac{20 \div 4}{24 \div 4} = \frac{5}{6} \).

Front

Is \( \frac{7}{16} \) in simplest form?

Back

Yes, \( \frac{7}{16} \) is in simplest form because 7 and 16 have no common factors other than 1.

Front

What is the mixed number equivalent of \( \frac{8}{3} \)?

Back

The mixed number equivalent of \( \frac{8}{3} \) is \( 2 \frac{2}{3} \).

What is the process for converting an improper fraction to a mixed number?

Back

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator to find the whole number, and use the remainder as the new numerator over the original denominator.

Front

What is the greatest common divisor (GCD) and how is it used in simplifying fractions?

Back

The GCD is the largest number that divides both the numerator and denominator without leaving a remainder. It is used to simplify fractions by dividing both by the GCD.

Front

What does it mean for a fraction to be in simplest form?

Back

A fraction is in simplest form when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.
