11/27 in the simplest form?

OpenStudy (deathslasher99):

anyone

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

is there a number (besides 1) that divides both 11 and 27?

OpenStudy (deathslasher99):

I dont think so, no?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

Is there a way you could check so that you are sure?

OpenStudy (deathslasher99):

Will a calculator help

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

what numbers divide 11?

OpenStudy (deathslasher99):

I think the only 1 is 1

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

and 11

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

does 11 divide 27?

OpenStudy (deathslasher99):

no

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

then we have checked all the possible numbers that could divide them both. So it is in lowest form.

OpenStudy (deathslasher99):

yes thank you

OpenStudy (deathslasher99):

Mind me checking a few of these with you?

OpenStudy (deathslasher99):

Is 47/10 in its lowest form?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

47 and 10 have no common factors besides 1

OpenStudy (deathslasher99):

So that means that this is the simplest form?

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Yup, pretty much. If you have a numerator and denominator that don't share any common factors that both are divisible by, then you are in the simplest form already
