simplify 194/120 the answer will be ? you answer

Sagot :


First, we need to find out what number goes into 194 and 120 both evenly.

Both numbers end in a number divisible by two. 4 and 2. So tat tells us that we can divide both 194 and 120, by two.

194÷2=97

120÷2=60

Our new simplified fraction, is 97/60. And there is no other number that can divide evenly with theses two numbers: 97 and 60, anymore.

194/120=97/60

And if you want it as a mixed number, then fin out how many times  60 goes in to 97.

60 only goes in 97 one time.

so our whole number is going  be 1 while we keep the same denominator 60.

And subtract 60 from 97 to get our new numerator.97-60=37

Our mixed number is 1 37/60.

Maybe too much but I think I helped :)


note: 2*2 means 2 times 2
find the factors since
4/8=1/2 because 1/2 times 4/4=4/8
194=2*97
120=2*2*2*3*5
the common number is 2 so divide both by 2
97/60 is the simplest form
in improper fraction form it is
97-60=37
1 37/60
