Answer for screen readers
The fraction $\frac{25}{6}$ cannot be simplified further and can also be expressed as the mixed number $4 \frac{1}{6}$.
Steps to Solve
-
Identify the Fraction We have the fraction $\frac{25}{6}$.
-
Check for Simplification To determine if $\frac{25}{6}$ can be simplified, we need to check if the numerator (25) and the denominator (6) have any common factors.
-
Finding Common Factors The factors of 25 are 1, 5, and 25. The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. The only common factor is 1.
-
Conclusion on Simplification Since the common factor is 1, the fraction $\frac{25}{6}$ cannot be simplified further.
-
Convert to Mixed Number (If Desired) To express the fraction as a mixed number, divide 25 by 6. This gives: $$25 \div 6 = 4 \text{ R } 1$$ So, we can write: $$ \frac{25}{6} = 4 \frac{1}{6} $$
The fraction $\frac{25}{6}$ cannot be simplified further and can also be expressed as the mixed number $4 \frac{1}{6}$.
More Information
The fraction $\frac{25}{6}$ is already in its simplest form. If you convert it to a mixed number, it shows how many whole parts and what is left over, which can be helpful for various applications.
Tips
