Chapter 2 Fractions

6. a whole number and a fraction.
8. fraction/another fraction equal to the original fraction.
11. the smallest number that can be divided evenly by all the unlike denominators.
13. fraction fraction in which the numerator is less than the denominator.
14. fraction in which the numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator and expresses one or more whole numbers.

1. the largest number that will divide evenly into both the numerator and denominator.
2. The process of determining a common number that will evenly divide any one of the numerators and any one of the denominators in the fractions being multiplied. Then crossing out the numbers that were divided and writing in the new number that is remaining after the division
3. fractions two or more fractions that have different denominators.
4. the smallest numerator and denominator possible to represent the original value of the fraction.
5. part of a whole; the part is written above the whole and the numbers are separated by a bar.
7. top number in a fraction, expresses the number of equal parts of the whole number.
9. denominator a number that can be divided evenly by all the unlike denominators.
10. bottom number in a fraction, expresses the number of equal parts the whole number is divided into.
11. two or more fractions that have the same denominator.
12. number method a method of determining the least common denominator of a group of fractions in which the denominators are repeatedly divided by prime numbers common to at least 2 of the denominators. When no more division can be done, the prime numbers from division are multiplied to calculate the least common denominator.
15. decimal in division, when one or more numbers repeat in a pattern, represented by a line above the last digit(s) to indicate that these digit(s) will always repeat.
