Detailed calculations and explanations, below
A common ordinary fraction is made up of
two integer numbers and a fraction bar:
71,333,333,330/3,999,999,985
- The integer number above the bar is called numerator: 71,333,333,330
- The integer number below the bar is called denominator: 3,999,999,985
- 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 = 71,333,333,330 ÷ 3,999,999,985
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:
71,333,333,330 = 2 × 5 × 7 × 127 × 643 × 12,479
71,333,333,330 is a composite number.
3,999,999,985 = 5 × 19 × 42,105,263
3,999,999,985 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 (2 × 5 × 7 × 127 × 643 × 12,479; 5 × 19 × 42,105,263) = 5
Reduce (simplify) the common ordinary fraction: 71,333,333,330/3,999,999,985
Divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.
71,333,333,330/3,999,999,985 =
(71,333,333,330 ÷ 5) / (3,999,999,985 ÷ 5) =
14,266,666,666/799,999,997
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.
71,333,333,330/3,999,999,985 =
(2 × 5 × 7 × 127 × 643 × 12,479)/(5 × 19 × 42,105,263) =
((2 × 5 × 7 × 127 × 643 × 12,479) ÷ 5) / ((5 × 19 × 42,105,263) ÷ 5) =
(2 × 7 × 127 × 643 × 12,479)/(19 × 42,105,263) =
14,266,666,666/799,999,997
- 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 14,266,666,666/799,999,997 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:
14,266,666,666 ÷ 799,999,997 = 17 and the remainder = 666,666,717 ⇒
14,266,666,666 = 17 × 799,999,997 + 666,666,717 ⇒
14,266,666,666/799,999,997 =
(17 × 799,999,997 + 666,666,717) / 799,999,997 =
17 + 666,666,717/799,999,997 =
17 666,666,717/799,999,997
As a decimal number:
Simply divide the numerator by the denominator, without a remainder, as shown below:
17 666,666,717/799,999,997 =
17 + 666,666,717/799,999,997 =
17 + 666,666,717 ÷ 799,999,997 =
17.833333399375 ≈
17.83
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.
17.833333399375 =
17.833333399375 × 100/100 =
1,783.3333399375/100 =
1,783.3333399375% ≈
1,783.33%
- 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
