The prime factorization of the numerator and the denominator:.

After that, multiply all the common primes by their lowest exponents, see it below. One way to calculate the greatest common factor, GCF, is to break down each of the two numbers to prime factors and then write them as products of those primes, in exponential form. To reduce a fraction to the lowest terms (or, in another words, to its simplest form, irreducible), we must divide both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by their greatest common factor, gcf (12 16).

How to reduce the fraction 12/ 16 to the lowest terms? Irreducible fraction

Reduce fractions to lower terms (simplify), online, with explanations.

Fraction 3/ 4 is also called an irreducible fraction, in another words it could no longer be reduced or simplified, it is in its simplest form, the numbers 3 and 4, the numerator and the denominator of the fraction, are coprime numbers (prime to each other), not having any common factors other than 1.

The new fraction, 3/ 4, is a reduced fraction (a simplified fraction) and an equivalent of the fractions 12/ 16 and 6/ 8.

The value of the fraction 3/ 4 is calculated as:.

We also notice that the two new numbers, the new numerator and the new denominator, 6 and 8, are also dividing themselves without any remainder by 2 (2 is a common factor of 6 and 8), so we divide them again by 2:.

The reduced fraction has now a numerator that is equal to 6 and a denominator that is equal to 8.Find all the divisors of a number or all the common factors of two numbers, online.The number 2 that was used to divide the two numbers that make up the fraction is called a common factor or a divisor of the numerator and the denominator of the fraction. The new fraction, 6/ 8, is equivalent to the original one, 12/ 16, that is, it represents the same value or proportion of the whole, and it was calculated out of the original fraction by reducing it (simplifying it): both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction were divided by the number 2. Reduced (simplified) fraction, Equivalent fraction.We notice that the value of the fraction 6/ 8 is equal to that of the fraction 12/ 16, namely 0.75.The value of the fraction 6/ 8 is calculated as:.We notice that the two numbers, the numerator and the denominator, are dividing themselves without any remainder by 2, so we divide them by the same number, 2:.Thus, the value of the fraction is calculated as: Fraction 12/ 16 shows us in how many equal parts the number above the fraction bar, 12, is being divided: into 16 equal parts. The number that is below the fraction bar, 16, is called the denominator of the fraction The number that is above the fraction bar, 12, is called the numerator of the fraction Let's learn by an example, let's simplify the fraction: 12/ 16
