Simplify the operation
Reduce (simplify) the fractions to their lowest terms equivalents:
- To reduce a fraction to the lowest terms equivalent: divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF.
The fraction: 816/8
- The prime factorizations of the numerator and denominator:
- 816 = 24 × 3 × 17
- 8 = 23
- 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 (816; 8) = 23 = 8
816/8 = (816 ÷ 8)/(8 ÷ 8) = 102/1 = 102
The fraction can also be reduced without calculating GCF; factor the numerator and denominator and cross out all the common prime factors:
816/8 = (24 × 3 × 17)/23 = ((24 × 3 × 17) ÷ 23)/(23 ÷ 23) = 102/1 = 102
Sort the integer numbers in ascending order.
This is a simple case of comparing and sorting integer numbers.
The integer numbers are a particular case of those fractions that have a denominator equal to 1.
