Main Idea and Vocabulary

Example 1:Write a Fraction in Simplest Form

Example 2:Write a Fraction in Simplest Form

• equivalent fractions-fractions that have the same value.

• simplest form-when the GCF of the fraction’s numerator and denominator is 1.

• Write fractions in simplest form (2.1.8A) (M7.A.1.1)

• Greatest Common Factor (GCF)-the greatest of common factors of 2 or more numbers.

Write a Fraction in Simplest Form

Method 1 Divide by common factors.

3 is a common factor of 12 and 45, so divide by 3.

The fraction is in simplest form since 4 and 15 have

no common factors greater than 1.

Write a Fraction in Simplest Form

Method 2 Divide by the GCF.

First, find the GCF of the numerator and denominator.

factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

factors of 45: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45

Answer:

The GCF of 12 and 45 is 3.

Then, divide the numerator and the denominator by the GCF.

Write a Fraction in Simplest Form

First, find the GCF of the numerator and denominator.

Answer:

40 = 2 ● 2 ● 2 ● 5

64 = 2 ● 2 ● 2 ● 2 ● 2 ● 2

Then, divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF, 8.

The GCF of 40 and 64 is 2 ● 2 ● 2 or 8.
