Simple Form in Math

Introduction to simple form in math:

In mathematics simple form means simplest form or simplifying. Fractions are simplifying means dividing by the value of GCF for both numerator and denominator. Here GCF stands for greatest common divisor. Simple form in decimal means converting whole number or rounding the value. Therefore, simple form is a reducing of values for the given.


Example problems of simple form in math:


Simple form in math problem 1:

Writing the simple form: `18/12`

Solution:

Given `18/12`

Method 1:

First we are factoring the values of numerator and then factoring a denominator values.

Finally reduce the fraction by cancelling the common value.

Method 2:

Find the Greatest common divisor for the given fraction values and then simplifying them.

Therefore we can simply the given problem using the second method.

Greatest common divisor of 18, 12= 6

So, `(18-:6)/(12-:6)=3/2`

Answer: `3/2`

Simple form in math problem 2:

Writing the simple form: `28/16`

Solution:

Given `28/16`

Method 1:

First we are factoring the values of numerator and then factoring a denominator values.

Finally reduce the fraction by cancelling the common value.

Method 2:

Find the Greatest common divisor for the given fraction values and then simplifying them.

Therefore we can simply the given problem using the second method.

Greatest common divisor of 28, 16= 4

So, `(28-:4)/(16-:4)= 7/4`

Answer: `7/4`

Simple form in math problem 3:

Simplify  `(x(x+7)-4(x+7))/( x+7)`

Solution:

We can simplify the given fraction values by using the following steps:

First we are factoring the values of numerator and then factoring a denominator values.

Finally reduce the fraction by cancelling the common value.

Given `(x(x+7)-4(x+7))/( x+7)`

Here we can doing only reducing fraction. Because of already have factors for both numerator and denominator.

So reduce the fraction individually and then simplifying that,

`(x(x+7)-4(x+7))/( x+7)=(x(x+7))/(x+7)-(4(x+7))/(x+7)`

Here cancel the factor `x+7 ` on both numerator and denominator.

After simplifying, we get the final answer.

`(x(x+7)-4(x+7))/( x+7)= x-4`

Answer: ` x-4`


Practice problems of simple form in math:


Write the simple form: `55/22`
Simplify `(x(x+4)+3(x+4))/( x+4)`
Answer:

1)      `5/2`

2)    ` (x+3)`
