Multiplying the common ordinary fractions: 1/2 × 60 = ? The multiplication process explained. The result written: As a positive integer number. As a positive improper fraction (the denominator = 1). As a percentage

1/2 × 60 = ?

Perform the operation of calculating the fractions

Multiply the fractions:

1) Multiply the numerators, that is, all the numbers above the fractions bars, separately.


2) Multiply the denominators, that is, all the numbers below the fractions bars, separately.


* Factor all the numerators and all the denominators in order to easily reduce (simplify) the end fraction.


1/2 × 60 =


60 / 2 =


(22 × 3 × 5) / 2


Fully reduce (simplify) the end fraction to its lowest terms equivalent:

Calculate the greatest common factor, GCF,
of the numerator and denominator of the fraction:

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.


To fully reduce a fraction, to the lowest terms equivalent: divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF.


* To calculate the GCF, we need to factor the numerator and the denominator of the fraction into prime factors.


Then multiply all the common prime factors: if there are repeating prime factors we only take them once, and only the ones having the lowest exponent (the lowest powers).


GCF (22 × 3 × 5; 2) = 2



Divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF:

(22 × 3 × 5) / 2 =


((22 × 3 × 5) ÷ 2) / (2 ÷ 2) =


(22 ÷ 2 × 3 × 5)/(2 ÷ 2) =


(2(2 - 1) × 3 × 5)/1 =


(21 × 3 × 5)/1 =


(2 × 3 × 5)/1 =


2 × 3 × 5 =


30


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.

30 = 30/1


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.


30 =


30 × 100/100 =


(30 × 100)/100 =


3,000/100 =


3,000%



The final answer:
written in three ways

As a positive integer number:
1/2 × 60 = 30

As a positive improper fraction:
(the denominator = 1)
1/2 × 60 = 30/1

As a percentage:
1/2 × 60 = 3,000%
