Simplify the operation
Reduce (simplify) the fractions to their lowest terms equivalents:


The fraction: 1,506/23

1,506/23 is already reduced to the lowest terms.

The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:


  • 1,506 = 2 × 3 × 251
  • 23 is a prime number.
  • GCF (1,506; 23) = 1


The fraction: 406/62

  • The prime factorizations of the numerator and denominator:
  • 406 = 2 × 7 × 29
  • 62 = 2 × 31
  • Multiply all the common prime factors: if there are repeating prime factors we only take them once, and only the ones having the lowest exponent (the lowest powers).
  • GCF (406; 62) = 2

406/62 = (406 ÷ 2)/(62 ÷ 2) = 203/31


The fraction can also be reduced without calculating GCF; factor the numerator and denominator and cross out all the common prime factors:


406/62 = (2 × 7 × 29)/(2 × 31) = ((2 × 7 × 29) ÷ 2)/((2 × 31) ÷ 2) = 203/31



The fraction: 374/68

  • 374 = 2 × 11 × 17
  • 68 = 22 × 17
  • GCF (374; 68) = 2 × 17 = 34

374/68 = (374 ÷ 34)/(68 ÷ 34) = 11/2


The fraction can also be reduced without calculating GCF; factor the numerator and denominator and cross out all the common prime factors:


374/68 = (2 × 11 × 17)/(22 × 17) = ((2 × 11 × 17) ÷ (2 × 17))/((22 × 17) ÷ (2 × 17)) = 11/2

To compare and sort the fractions, make their denominators the same.

To make the fractions' denominators the same - we have to:

  • 1) calculate their common denominator
  • 2) then calculate the expanding number of each fraction
  • 3) expand the fractions to equivalent forms having the same denominator

Calculate the common denominator

The common denominator is nothing else than the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of the fractions.


To calculate the LCM, we need the prime factorization of the denominators:

23 is a prime number.

31 is a prime number.

2 is a prime number.

79 is a prime number.

88 = 23 × 11

216 = 23 × 33

233 is a prime number.

93 = 3 × 31

131 is a prime number.

223 is a prime number.

236 = 22 × 59


Multiply all the unique prime factors: if there are repeating prime factors we only take them once, and only the ones having the highest exponent (the highest powers).

The fractions have the same denominator, compare their numerators.

The larger the numerator the larger the positive fraction.

The larger the numerator the smaller the negative fraction.

How to compare two fractions?

1. Fractions that have different signs:

  • Any positive fraction is larger than any negative fraction:
  • ie: 4/25 > - 19/2

2. A proper and an improper fraction:

  • Any positive improper fraction is larger than any positive proper fraction:
  • ie: 44/25 > 1 > 19/200
  • Any negative improper fraction is smaller than any negative proper fraction:
  • ie: - 44/25 < -1 < - 19/200

3. Fractions that have both like numerators and denominators:

  • The fractions are equal:
  • ie: 89/50 = 89/50

4. Fractions that have unlike (different) numerators but like (equal) denominators.

  • Positive fractions: compare the numerators, the larger fraction is the one with the larger numerator:
  • ie: 24/25 > 19/25
  • Negative fractions: compare the numerators, the larger fraction is the one with the smaller numerator:
  • ie: - 19/25 < - 17/25

5. Fractions that have unlike (different) denominators but like (equal) numerators.

  • Positive fractions: compare the denominators, the larger fraction is the one with the smaller denominator:
  • ie: 24/25 > 24/26
  • Negative fractions: compare the denominators, the larger fraction is the one with the larger denominator:
  • ie: - 17/25 < - 17/29

6. Fractions that have different denominators and numerators (unlike denominators and numerators).
