| Question | Answer |
| Cancellation | Reducing process that is used to simplify the multiplication and division of fractions |
| Common Denominator | To add two or more fractions, denominators must be the same |
| Denominator | The number of a common fraction below the division line (bar). Example 8/9, in which the 9 is the denominator |
| Equivalent | Two or more fractions equivalent in value |
| Fraction | Expresses a part of a whole number. Example, 5/6 expresses 5 parts out of 6. |
| Greatest Common Divisor | The largest possible number that will divide evenly into both the numerator and denominator |
| Higher Terms | Expressing a fraction with a new numerator and denominator that is equivalent to the original. Example: 2/9 = 6/27 |
| Improper fractions | Fraction that has a greater value equal to or greater than 1; Numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator. Example 6/6, 14/9 |
| Least Common Denominator (LCD) | Smallest nonzero whole number into which all denominators will divide evenly. Example: 2/3 and 1/4 LCD = 12 |
| Like Fractions | Proper fractions with the same denominators. |
| Lowest Terms | Expressing a fraction when no number divides evenly into the numerator and denominator except the number 1. Example 5/10 = 1/2 |
| Mixed Numbers | Sum of a whole number greater than zero and a proper fraction. Example: 2 1/4, 3 3/9 |
| Numerator | Number of a common fraction above the division line (bar) Example: 8/9, in which 8 is the numerator. |
| Prime Numbers | Whole number greater than 1 that is only divisible by itself and 1 |
| Proper Fractions | Fractions with a value less than 1; numerator is smaller than denominator such as 5/9 |
| Reciprocal | The interchanging of the numerator and the denominator. inverted number is the reciprocal. Example 6/7 ...7/6 |
| Unlike Fractions | Proper fractions with different denominators |
