Multiplying the common ordinary fractions: - 23/30 × - 30/63 = ? The multiplication process explained. The result written: As a positive proper fraction (the numerator < the denominator). As a decimal number. As a percentage
- 23/30 × - 30/63 = ?
Simplify the operation
Rewrite the equivalent simplified operation:
Combine the signs of the fractions into a single one, placed in front of the expression. If the sign is + then it is usually not written.
The sign of a multiplication operation:
+ 1 × + 1 = + 1
+ 1 × - 1 = - 1
- 1 × - 1 = + 1
- 23/30 × - 30/63 =
23/30 × 30/63
These fractions reduce each other:
They have numerators and denominators of equal values.
The fractions: 23/30 × 30/63 = 23/63
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.
23/63 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors.
Their prime factorization:
23 is a prime number (it cannot be factored into other prime factors)
63 = 32 × 7
Rewrite the fraction
As a decimal number:
Simply divide the numerator by the denominator, without a remainder, as shown below:
23/63 =
23 ÷ 63 ≈
0.365079365079 ≈
0.37
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.
0.365079365079 =
0.365079365079 × 100/100 =
(0.365079365079 × 100)/100 =
36.507936507937/100 ≈
36.507936507937% ≈
36.51%
The final answer:
written in three ways
As a positive proper fraction:
(the numerator < the denominator)
- 23/30 × - 30/63 = 23/63
As a decimal number:
- 23/30 × - 30/63 ≈ 0.37
As a percentage:
- 23/30 × - 30/63 ≈ 36.51%
