Let's start with the smallest prime number 2
60/2 = 30
Divide that result over 2
30/2 = 15
We can't divide this by 2 because 15/2 = 7.5 isn't a whole number
Let's move onto 3
15/3 = 5
The result is a prime number, so we stop.
The values we divided as denominators were: {2, 2, 3}
We add the result 5 to the set to completely list all of the prime factors of 60
The prime factorization would be
<h3>60 = 2*2*3*5</h3>
which is the same as saying
<h3>60 = 2^2*3*5</h3>
You'll want to make a common denominator with 6 and 8.
That denominator would be 24.
24/6=4 so you would have to multiply 5/6 by 4/4 to get 20/24.
Next, 24/8=3 so 1/8 could be multiplied by 3/3 to get 3/24.
Since 3 is less than 20, 1/8 is smaller than 5/6.
If you want the same numerator, 5/8 = 15/24. This would make 5/8 smaller than 5/6 as well.
The highest eighth you can go is 6/8 which is 18/24.
So you can use any numerator between 1 and 6 with a denominator of 8 to get a fraction smaller than 5/6.
Answer: It depends on the terms.
Step-by-step explanation: In fraction terms 16 is equivalent to 4. In number terms 16 is a number larger than 4.
Answer:
31 , 59
Step-by-step explanation:
a = b +28
a + b = 90 {Complementary}
b + 28 + b = 90 {Combine like terms}
2b + 28 = 90 {Subtract 28 form both sides}
2b = 90 - 28
2b = 62 {Divide both sides by 2}
b = 62/2
b = 31
a = 31 + 28
a = 59
