Fractions
Simplifying: Find an equivalent fraction where the numerator and denominator are smaller numbers
A fraction is said to be in its simplest form if 1 is the only common factor of its numerator and denominator.
Fractions in the simplest form You can simplify a fraction by using any of the common factors of the numerator and the denominator of a fraction. However, you may need to cancel more than once to make sure you have written the fraction in its simplest form. Using the Highest Common Factor means that you will only have to cancel once
Improper Fraction: An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.
Mixed Number: A mixed number, sometimes also called a mixed fraction, is a combination of an integer (whole number) and fraction (part of a whole number).
Reciprocal: The reciprocal of a number is the number you would have to multiply it by to get the answer 1.
The reciprocal is also called the "Multiplicative Inverse".
Flip the fraction over, if whole number write it over 1 first
