Answer:
[tex]2\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
The fraction consists of two numbers and a fraction bar: 13/5 The number above the bar is called numerator: 13 The number below the bar is called denominator: 5 The fraction bar means that the two numbers are dividing themselves. To get fraction's value divide the numerator by the denominator: Value = 13 ÷ 5
To calculate the greatest common factor, GCF: 1. Build the prime factorizations of the numerator and denominator. 2. Multiply all the common prime factors, by the lowest exponents. Factor both the numerator and denominator, break them down to prime factors: Prime Factorization of a number: finding the prime numbers that multiply together to make that number. 13 is a prime number, it cannot be factored into other prime factors; 5 is a prime number, it cannot be factored into other prime factors; * Positive integers that are only dividing by themselves and 1 are called prime numbers. * A composite number is a positive integer that has at least one factor (divisor) other than 1 and itself. Multiply all the common prime factors, by the lowest exponents. But, the numerator and denominator have no common factors. gcf (13; 5) = 1Fraction 13/5 is a positive improper fraction (numerator > denominator).Mixed number = a whole number and a proper fraction, of the same sign. Proper fraction = numerator smaller than denominator.
13 ÷ 5 = 2 and remainder = 3 =>
13 = 2 × 5 + 3 =>
13/5 =
(2 × 5 + 3) / 5 =
2 + 3/5 =
2 3/5
