The mixed number is 5 1/3. Since 41 is a prime number, this concludes the trial division. The whole number result is 5.

60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5.


Gcd(m, n) × lcm(m, n) = m × n. A fraction, which is expressed as a ratio of two integers which are both prime cannot be simplified. The prime factors of 15 are 3 and 5 (because 3×5=15, and 3 and 5 are prime numbers).

Write The Fraction With The Prime Factorizations In It.


The number 5 is a prime number because it can only be divided by one (5 / 1 = 5) or itself (5 / 5 = 1) and remain a natural number. The whole number result is 5. The short division method is also useful to find the least common multiple of given numbers.

Lcm(M, N) (Least Common Multiple Of M And N) Is The Product Of All Prime Factors Of M Or N (With The Largest Multiplicity For M Or N).


Find the prime factorization of the denominator. 165 = 3 × 5 × 11. The prime factors of 15 are 3 and 5 (because 3×5=15, and 3 and 5 are prime numbers).

A Prime Number (Or A Prime) Is A Natural Number Greater Than 1 That Is Not A Product Of Two Smaller Natural Numbers.


So our new simplified fraction is 5/8 820 = 41 × 5 × 2 × 2. Factors are the numbers you multiply together to get another number.

820 = 41 × 5 × 2 2.


The first fraction above comes from a similar polynomial. Then if you move to 10, 10 is also not prime, divisible by 2 and 5. The mixed number is 5 1/3.
