Fractions Copyright 2014 Scott Storla

Proper Fraction In a proper fraction the numerator (top) is less than the denominator (bottom). The value of a proper fraction will always be between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive). Copyright 2014 Scott Storla

Improper Fraction In an improper fraction the numerator (top) is greater than or equal to the denominator (bottom). The value of an improper fraction is greater than or equal to 1. Copyright 2014 Scott Storla

Mixed Number A mixed number is the sum of a positive integer and a proper fraction. Copyright 2014 Scott Storla

Writing a mixed number as an improper fraction The new numerator is the product of the denominator and natural number added to the numerator. The denominator remains the same. Copyright 2014 Scott Storla

Writing an improper fraction as a mixed number 1.Divide the numerator by the denominator. 2.The natural number is to the left of the decimal. 3.Subtract the product of the natural number and original denominator from the original numerator. This is the numerator of the proper faction. 4.The denominator of the proper fraction is the same as the original denominator. Copyright 2014 Scott Storla

Prime Factorization Copyright 2014 Scott Storla

Prime Number A natural number, greater than 1, which has unique natural number factors 1 and itself. Ex: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 Copyright 2014 Scott Storla

Composite Number A natural number, greater than 1, which is not prime. Ex: 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 Copyright 2014 Scott Storla

Prime Factorization Copyright 2014 Scott Storla

Prime Factorization To write a natural number as the product of prime factors. Ex: 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 Copyright 2014 Scott Storla

Procedure – Multiplying Fractions 1. Combine all the numerators, in prime factored form, in a single numerator. 2. Combine all the denominators, in prime factored form, in a single denominator. 3. Reduce common factors 4. Multiply the remaining factors in the numerator together and the remaining factors in the denominator together. Copyright 2014 Scott Storla
