Factors and Simplest Form Section 4.2

b A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself. The first few prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29,... b A composite number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not prime. 2 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed

The natural number 1 is neither prime nor composite. Helpful Hint 3 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed

Prime Factorization A prime factorization of a number expresses the number as a product of its factors and the factors must be prime numbers. 4 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed

Remember a factor is any number that divides a number evenly (with a remainder of 0). Helpful Hint 5 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed

Every whole number greater than 1 has exactly one prime factorization. 12 = and 3 are prime factors of 12 because they are prime numbers and they divide evenly into Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed

Divisibility Tests A whole number is divisible by b 2 if its last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. b 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by is divisible by is divisible by 3 since = 9 is divisible by 3. 7 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed

Divisibility Tests A whole number is divisible by b 5 if the ones digit is 0 or 5. b 10 if its last digit is 0. 2,345 is divisible by 5. 8,470 is divisible by Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed

Equivalent Fractions Graph on the number line Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed

Fractions that represent the same portion of a whole or the same point on the number line are called equivalent fractions. 10 Equivalent Fractions Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed

Equivalent Fractions 11 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed

Fundamental Property of Fractions If a, b, and c are numbers, then and also as long as b and c are not 0. If the numerator and denominator are multiplied or divided by the same nonzero number, the result is an equivalent fraction. 12 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed

Simplest Form A fraction is in simplest form, or lowest terms, when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. Using the fundamental principle of fractions, divide the numerator and denominator by the common factor of 7. Using the prime factorization of the numerator and denominator, divide out common factors. 13 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed

Writing a Fraction in Simplest Form To write a fraction in simplest form, write the prime factorization of the numerator and the denominator and then divide both by all common factors. The process of writing a fraction in simplest form is called simplifying the fraction. 14 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed

When all factors of the numerator or denominator are divided out, don’t forget that 1 still remains in that numerator or denominator. Helpful Hint 15 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed
