Question

Explain how you can tell that 31\33 is in simplest form

Answer 1

`(31)/(33)` is in simplest form because no whole number what so ever can be divided by d numerator and d denominator to get a proper fraction. Here are some examples in trying to divide it with whole numbers but failing:-


`(31/3)/(33/3) = (10.333....)/(11)`


`(31/4)/(33/4)= (7.75)/(8.25)`

Hope i helped ya!!

Answer 2

Because there is no whole number that you can divide into both the numerator and the denominator to get a proper fraction.
