Cancelling fractions to their lowest terms A fraction is said to be expressed in its lowest terms if the numerator and the denominator have no common factors. Which of these fractions are expressed in their lowest terms? Fractions which are not shown in their lowest terms can be simplified by cancelling

Mixed numbers and improper fractions When the numerator of a fraction is larger than the denominator it is called an improper fraction. For example: 15 4 is an improper fraction. We can write improper fractions as mixed numbers can be shown as 15 4 = 3 3 4

Improper fractions to mixed numbers Convert to a mixed number = = 1 + = ÷ 8 = 4 remainder = This is the number of times 8 divides into This number is the remainder. 5

2 7 3 Mixed numbers to improper fractions = = = 23 7 To do this in one step, = Multiply these numbers together … … and add this number … … to get the numerator. 23 7
