Quiz designed to evaluate understanding of converting fractions to simplest form and applying divisibility rules.
Total of 10 questions featuring various concepts of fractions and divisibility.

Converting Fractions to Simplest Form

Simplifying a fraction involves dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
Example: Simplifying 12/16:
- GCD of 12 and 16 is 4.
- Divide both by 4: 12 ÷ 4 = 3, 16 ÷ 4 = 4, resulting in 3/4.

Divisibility Rules

Rule for 4: A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits form a number that is divisible by 4.
Rule for 5: A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 0 or 5.
Rule for 6: A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 (even number) and 3 (sum of digits is divisible by 3).
Rule for 8: A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits form a number that is divisible by 8.
Rule for 9: A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
Rule for 10: A number is divisible by 10 if it ends in 0.

Prime Factorisation

Prime factorisation is breaking down a number into its prime factors.
Example: The number 28 can be factored as 2 x 2 x 7, or expressed using exponents as 2² x 7.
Understanding prime factorisation aids in finding GCD and LCM.

Equivalent Fractions

Equivalent fractions represent the same portion of a whole, achieved by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same number.
Example: 2/3 is equivalent to 4/6 (2 x 2 and 3 x 2).
Identifying equivalent fractions helps in determining proper simplifications and comparisons.
