Math Is Fun Forum

Anyway, the reason why I asked you how to find a common factor of two fractions was because of this...

because you took the smallest number between the two and it went even in the biggest number

Well, I don't understand how we find a factor of two fractions, that's what xD  So, I wasn't sure how dividing my two fractions by 1/6 would give me my answer to my initial question...  Thank you for your help

but I'm not sure of understanding what I'm doing

Well, I forgot to specify, but it's not necesary for it to be the hcf, but any common factor of two fractions. Would your quote still be correct ???

Ok, so just to be sure I've understood. Like you sais bobbym, if I'm given fractions, and we ask me what is the common factors of these two fractions, my answer must be a fraction ?

Ex : 1/2 and 1/6 would have none

and 1/2 and 3/6 would be 1/2

Right ?

Ok, even if they're divisible by 7, what are you trying to tell me exactly... ?

Ah ok, but parallely, if I said :

I'm not sure about it, but could we say that the common factor of these two is 7 ??? Or I'm totally wrong ?

Ah ok, didn't know about it! Thanks agian !

Hi, could you also check that :

Thanks bobbym
