Instructions: For each fraction work out the smallest fraction. |
Hint: To convert a fraction to its smallest form you need to find the largest number that can divide into both the numerator and the denominator. If you are unsure of how to do this, start with your numerator and work backwards by finding a number that divides into both the numerator and the denominator without leaving any remainder. Once you have found the largest number, then simply divide both the numerator and the denominator by this number to get the smallest simple fraction. Knowing your number table patters will also help Find the largest number pattern that has both the numerator and denominator in it. Then divide your numerator and the denominator by the number pattern you used. On really big fractions, you might need to repeat these steps again with your final answer. |
