Question

Explain how you can tell that 31\33 is in simplest form

Answer 1

$\frac{31}{33}$ is in simplest form because no whole number what so ever can be divided by d numerator and d denominator to get a proper fraction. Here are some examples in trying to divide it with whole numbers but failing:-

$\frac{31/3}{33/3} = \frac{10.333....}{11}$

$\frac{31/4}{33/4}= \frac{7.75}{8.25}$

Hope i helped ya!! 

Answer 2

Because there is no whole number that you can divide into both the numerator and the denominator to get a proper fraction.
