Fraction can't be reduced (simplified) any further - irreducible. 5/6 = 0.833333333333; :: Result written as :: a proper fraction: 5/6 and a decimal number: 0.833333333333
Explanations below.
To reduce a fraction, divide both its numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF. Step 1. Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor).
Integer numbers prime factorization: 5 is a prime number, it cannot be prime factorized; 6 = 2 * 3; Take all the common prime factors, by the lowest powers. But the two numbers have no common prime factors. Greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), gcf, gcd: gcf, gcd (5; 6) = 1; coprime numbers (relatively prime);
Fraction's numerator and denominator are coprime numbers (no common prime factors). Fraction cannot be reduced (simplified) - irreducible. Step 2: Rewrite the end result:
5 : 6 = 0.833333333333 as a decimal number.
Final answer :: written in two ways :: As a proper fraction: 5/6 = 5/6 As a decimal number: 5/6 = 0.833333333333
