Question

If there is a common factor between a whole number and the numerator of a fraction, then on multiplying the number with the fraction, the whole number and the numerator can be reduced to the simplest form. State True or false

Answer​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest Common Factor of numerator and denominator is 1. In other words numerator and denominator are relatively prime or coprime numbers.

Explanation:

If a fraction cannot be simplified, it means there is no common factor between numerator and denominator.

But 1 is a factor of every number.

Hence, the only common factor between numerator and denominator is 1.

As the only common factor between numerator and denominator is 1, Greatest Common Factor too is 1.

In other words numerator and denominator are relatively prime or coprime numbers.

Answer is "TRUE "
