Answer:

  Divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example:

  38/57 = (2·19)/(3·19)

Dividing numerator and denominator by the factor 19 that is common to both, we have the simplest form:

  38/57 = 2/3

___

The process is aided immensely by you having mastery of your multiplication tables through at least 12×12, and by having a good feeling for the factorization of all numbers less than 100.

Some calculators work well with fractions, so can simplify them for you. If you don't have either of the above, then you need to have a good understanding of how to find the greatest common divisor of two numbers. Euclid's algorithm is a useful tool for this.

<span>How many times does 190 go into 780? </span>
<span>≈ 4....190 x 4 = 760 </span>

<span>780 - 760 = 20...bring down the extra 0 to make it 200. </span>

<span>How many times does 190 go into 200? </span>
<span>≈ 1...subtract 190 from 200 to get a remainder of 10 </span>

<span>190 ÷ 7800 ≈ 41</span>

Find two numbers for which the sum is 101 and the difference is 47
ANEK [815]

Answer:

74 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

let x and y be the numbers

x + y =101........eqn 1

x - y = 47.......eqn 2

solve simultaneously

from equation 2, make x the subject

x= 47 + y........eqn 3

put eqn 3 into eqn 1

(47+y) + y = 101

47 + 2y = 101

       2y= 101 - 47

       2y=54

         y= 54/2

         y= 27

put y=27 into eqn 3

x = 47 + 27

x = 74
