Detailed calculations and explanations, below
A common ordinary fraction is made up of
two integer numbers and a fraction bar:
816,666,666,660/199,999,999,984
- The integer number above the bar is called numerator: 816,666,666,660
- The integer number below the bar is called denominator: 199,999,999,984
- 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 = 816,666,666,660 ÷ 199,999,999,984
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:
Written with exponents:
816,666,666,660 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 13 × 13 × 19 × 29 × 109 × 149 = 22 × 33 × 5 × 132 × 19 × 29 × 109 × 149
816,666,666,660 is a composite number.
Written with exponents:
199,999,999,984 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 12,499,999,999 = 24 × 12,499,999,999
199,999,999,984 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 (22 × 33 × 5 × 132 × 19 × 29 × 109 × 149; 24 × 12,499,999,999) = 22 = 4
Reduce (simplify) the common ordinary fraction: 816,666,666,660/199,999,999,984
Divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.
816,666,666,660/199,999,999,984 =
(816,666,666,660 ÷ 4) / (199,999,999,984 ÷ 4) =
204,166,666,665/49,999,999,996
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.
816,666,666,660/199,999,999,984 =
(22 × 33 × 5 × 132 × 19 × 29 × 109 × 149)/(24 × 12,499,999,999) =
((22 × 33 × 5 × 132 × 19 × 29 × 109 × 149) ÷ 22) / ((24 × 12,499,999,999) ÷ 22) =
(33 × 5 × 132 × 19 × 29 × 109 × 149)/(22 × 12,499,999,999) =
204,166,666,665/49,999,999,996
- 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 204,166,666,665/49,999,999,996 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:
204,166,666,665 ÷ 49,999,999,996 = 4 and the remainder = 4,166,666,681 ⇒
204,166,666,665 = 4 × 49,999,999,996 + 4,166,666,681 ⇒
204,166,666,665/49,999,999,996 =
(4 × 49,999,999,996 + 4,166,666,681) / 49,999,999,996 =
4 + 4,166,666,681/49,999,999,996 =
4 4,166,666,681/49,999,999,996
As a decimal number:
Simply divide the numerator by the denominator, without a remainder, as shown below:
4 4,166,666,681/49,999,999,996 =
4 + 4,166,666,681/49,999,999,996 =
4 + 4,166,666,681 ÷ 49,999,999,996 =
4.083333333627 ≈
4.08
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.
4.083333333627 =
4.083333333627 × 100/100 =
408.333333362667/100 =
408.333333362667% ≈
408.33%
- In other words:
- (1) Calculate the fraction's value, (2) multiply that number by 100, and (3) add the percent sign % to it.
