Multiplying the common ordinary fractions: 9/3 × 1/3 = ? The multiplication process explained. The result written: As a positive integer number. As a positive improper fraction (the denominator = 1). As a percentage
9/3 × 1/3 = ?
Simplify the operation
Reduce (simplify) the fractions to their lowest terms equivalents:
To fully reduce a fraction, to the lowest terms equivalent: divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF.
* By reducing the values of the numerators and the denominators of the fractions the calculations are easier to make.
A fully reduced (simplified) fraction is one with the smallest possible numerator and denominator, one that can no longer be reduced, and it is called an irreducible fraction.
* In order to easily reduce a fraction, factor its numerator and denominator. This way all the common prime factors are easily identified and crossed out, without calculating the GCF.
9/3 =
32/3 =
(32 ÷ 3)/(3 ÷ 3) =
3(2 - 1)/1 =
31/1 =
3/1 =
3
Rewrite the equivalent simplified operation:
9/3 × 1/3 =
3 × 1/3
These fractions reduce each other:
They have numerators and denominators of equal values.
The fractions: 3 × 1/3 = 1
Rewrite the intermediate result
As a positive improper fraction:
(the denominator = 1)
An improper fraction: the value of the numerator is larger than or equal to the value of the denominator.
1 = 1/1
As a percentage:
A percentage value p% is equal to the fraction: p/100, for any decimal number p. So, we need to change the form of the number calculated above, to show a denominator of 100.
To do that, multiply the number by the fraction 100/100.
The value of the fraction 100/100 = 1, so by multiplying the number by this fraction the result is not changing, only the form.
1 =
1 × 100/100 =
(1 × 100)/100 =
100/100 =
100%
The final answer:
written in three ways
As a positive integer number:
9/3 × 1/3 = 1
As a positive improper fraction:
(the denominator = 1)
9/3 × 1/3 = 1/1
As a percentage:
9/3 × 1/3 = 100%
