Detailed calculations and explanations, below
A common ordinary fraction is made up of
two integer numbers and a fraction bar:
21,414,141,426/1,250,000,010
- The integer number above the bar is called numerator: 21,414,141,426
- The integer number below the bar is called denominator: 1,250,000,010
- The fraction bar means that the numerator is divided by the denominator.
- To get the fraction's value divide the numerator by the denominator:
The value = 21,414,141,426 ÷ 1,250,000,010
To reduce a fraction to the lowest terms equivalent: divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF
To calculate the greatest common factor, GCF:
- 1. Factor the numerator and the denominator (into prime factors), build their prime factorizations.
- 2. Multiply all their common prime factors, taken by the lowest exponents.
1. Factor the numerator and the denominator:
To factor a number (into prime factors) - or, in other words, to break it down to prime factors - or, in other words, to build its prime factorization: find the prime numbers that multiply together to get that number.
The prime factorizations:
21,414,141,426 = 2 × 3 × 17 × 409 × 513,307
21,414,141,426 is a composite number.
Written with exponents:
1,250,000,010 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 109 × 109 × 167 = 2 × 32 × 5 × 7 × 1092 × 167
1,250,000,010 is a composite number.
- Exponential notation. 23 is the writing in exponential notation of the repeating multiplication: 2 × 2 × 2. Also: 23 is called the power. 2 is the base. 3 is the exponent. 8 is the value of the power: 23 = 8.
- Prime number: a positive integer that is dividing evenly (without a remainder) only by itself and 1. A prime number has only two factors. Composite number: a positive integer that has at least one factor (divisor) other than 1 and itself.
2. Multiply all the common prime factors:
- 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 (2 × 3 × 17 × 409 × 513,307; 2 × 32 × 5 × 7 × 1092 × 167) = 2 × 3 = 6
Reduce (simplify) the common ordinary fraction: 21,414,141,426/1,250,000,010
Divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.
21,414,141,426/1,250,000,010 =
(21,414,141,426 ÷ 6) / (1,250,000,010 ÷ 6) =
3,569,023,571/208,333,335
Yet another method to reduce the fraction
To reduce a fraction without calculating the GCF: factor its numerator and denominator, then all the common prime factors are easily identified and crossed out.
21,414,141,426/1,250,000,010 =
(2 × 3 × 17 × 409 × 513,307)/(2 × 32 × 5 × 7 × 1092 × 167) =
((2 × 3 × 17 × 409 × 513,307) ÷ (2 × 3)) / ((2 × 32 × 5 × 7 × 1092 × 167) ÷ (2 × 3)) =
(17 × 409 × 513,307)/(3 × 5 × 7 × 1092 × 167) =
3,569,023,571/208,333,335
- The fraction is now reduced to the lowest terms equivalent.
- The fraction is called irreducible and it has the smallest possible numerator and denominator.
- By reducing the values of the numerator and of the denominator of a fraction the calculations with that fraction are becoming easier to do.
The fraction 3,569,023,571/208,333,335 is a positive improper fraction (the numerator > the denominator).
Rewrite the fraction
As a mixed number (also called a mixed fraction):
- A mixed number: a whole number and a proper fraction, both having the same sign.
- A proper fraction is a fraction in which the value of the numerator is less than the value of the denominator.
- Divide the numerator by the denominator and write down the quotient and the remainder of the division, as shown below:
3,569,023,571 ÷ 208,333,335 = 17 and the remainder = 27,356,876 ⇒
3,569,023,571 = 17 × 208,333,335 + 27,356,876 ⇒
3,569,023,571/208,333,335 =
(17 × 208,333,335 + 27,356,876) / 208,333,335 =
17 + 27,356,876/208,333,335 =
17 27,356,876/208,333,335
As a decimal number:
Simply divide the numerator by the denominator, without a remainder, as shown below:
17 27,356,876/208,333,335 =
17 + 27,356,876/208,333,335 =
17 + 27,356,876 ÷ 208,333,335 =
17.131313003749 ≈
17.13
As a percentage:
- A percentage value p% is equal to the fraction: p/100, for any decimal number p. So, we need to change the form of the number calculated above, to show a denominator of 100.
- To do that, multiply the number by the fraction 100/100.
- The value of the fraction 100/100 = 1, so by multiplying the number by this fraction the result is not changing, only the form.
17.131313003749 =
17.131313003749 × 100/100 =
1,713.13130037495/100 =
1,713.13130037495% ≈
1,713.13%
- In other words:
- (1) Calculate the fraction's value, (2) multiply that number by 100, and (3) add the percent sign % to it.
The final answer:
written in four ways
As a positive improper fraction:
