Detailed calculations and explanations, below
A common ordinary fraction is made up of
two integer numbers and a fraction bar:
271,111,111,117/200,000,000,018
- The integer number above the bar is called numerator: 271,111,111,117
- The integer number below the bar is called denominator: 200,000,000,018
- 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 = 271,111,111,117 ÷ 200,000,000,018
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:
271,111,111,117 = 7 × 11 × 1,097 × 3,209,593
271,111,111,117 is a composite number.
200,000,000,018 = 2 × 7 × 13 × 53 × 1,979 × 10,477
200,000,000,018 is a composite number.
- 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 (7 × 11 × 1,097 × 3,209,593; 2 × 7 × 13 × 53 × 1,979 × 10,477) = 7
Reduce (simplify) the common ordinary fraction: 271,111,111,117/200,000,000,018
Divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.
271,111,111,117/200,000,000,018 =
(271,111,111,117 ÷ 7) / (200,000,000,018 ÷ 7) =
38,730,158,731/28,571,428,574
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.
271,111,111,117/200,000,000,018 =
(7 × 11 × 1,097 × 3,209,593)/(2 × 7 × 13 × 53 × 1,979 × 10,477) =
((7 × 11 × 1,097 × 3,209,593) ÷ 7) / ((2 × 7 × 13 × 53 × 1,979 × 10,477) ÷ 7) =
(11 × 1,097 × 3,209,593)/(2 × 13 × 53 × 1,979 × 10,477) =
38,730,158,731/28,571,428,574
- 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 38,730,158,731/28,571,428,574 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:
38,730,158,731 ÷ 28,571,428,574 = 1 and the remainder = 10,158,730,157 ⇒
38,730,158,731 = 1 × 28,571,428,574 + 10,158,730,157 ⇒
38,730,158,731/28,571,428,574 =
(1 × 28,571,428,574 + 10,158,730,157) / 28,571,428,574 =
1 + 10,158,730,157/28,571,428,574 =
1 10,158,730,157/28,571,428,574
As a decimal number:
Simply divide the numerator by the denominator, without a remainder, as shown below:
1 10,158,730,157/28,571,428,574 =
1 + 10,158,730,157/28,571,428,574 =
1 + 10,158,730,157 ÷ 28,571,428,574 =
1.355555555463 ≈
1.36
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.
1.355555555463 =
1.355555555463 × 100/100 =
135.5555555463/100 =
135.5555555463% ≈
135.56%
- In other words:
- (1) Calculate the fraction's value, (2) multiply that number by 100, and (3) add the percent sign % to it.
