3/2 Simplified
What is 3/2 Simplified?
Answer
The fraction 3/2 is already in the simplest form, so it isn't possible to reduce it any further - numerator 3 and denominator 2 have no common factors other than 1 (one)
Since the numerator [3] is greater than the denominator [2] of the fraction (it's called an improper fraction), so we can convert it into a mixed fraction with a whole number:
Simplifying Fraction 3/2 using GCF
The first way to simplify the fraction 3/2 is to use the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of our numerator [3] and denominator [2].
GCF of 3 and 2 is 1
And then divide both the numerator [3] and denominator [2] by the GCF [1].
Simplifying Fraction 3/2 using Prime Factors
Another method to reduce the fraction 3/2 to its simplest form is to use the Prime Factors of numerator [3] and denominator [2].
Now we can write down a new fraction expressed by its Prime Factors and cancel common factors in numerator and denominator:
Simplifying Fraction 3/2 by Dividing by the Smallest Possible Number
In order to simplify our fraction we can start dividing both the numerator [3] and denominator [2] by the smallest possible number (2,3,4,5... and so on), and repeat this until it is impossible to divide without a remainder.
In our case (3/2) there are no possible numbers to divide our numerator and denominator.
