Fraction Review
Benchmark Assessment: Thursday, February 14th
Fractions
- Denominator represents the total number of equal pieces
- Numerator represent the number of equal pieces you are looking for
- Fraction bar represents division
7÷9=
7 is the numerator
9 is the denominator
This picture represents the fraction of a region.
7 boxes are shaded out of 9 boxes
This picture represents the fraction of a set.
7 circles are blue out of the 9 circles
Represent the fractions as division. Draw a picture to represent the fraction as a
region and a set.
Equivalent Fractions
- To find an equivalent fraction multiple or divide the numerator and
denominator by the same number.
÷ =
x =
is equivalent to
is equivalent to
Write two equivalent fractions for each fraction given.
Compare Fractions
- If fractions have a common denominator compare the numerators. The
greater the numerator the greater the fraction.
- If fractions do not have a common denominator, find a common
denominator by finding a common multiple or multiply the denominators
together.
>
These fractions have a common denominator of 9. The numerator 5 is
greater than 2 therefore is greater than
<
.
These fractions do not have a common denominator. A common multiple of
5 and 3 is fifteen because 5 x 3 =15.
Rename the fractions with the common denominator.
x =
Common the numerators. 9 is less than 10.
x =
Therefore
is less than
, and is less than .
Compare the fractions using <, >, or =.
Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions
- Mixed numbers include a whole number and a fraction.
- An improper fraction has a numerator that is greater than or equal to the
denominator.
To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the
whole number and add the numerator. Put it over the same denominator
1 =
3x1=3+2=5
To write an improper fraction as a mixed number, divide the numerator by the
denominator and put the remainder over the denominator.
=1
9÷6=1r3
Change to a mixed number or improper fraction.

Greatest Common Factor.
- To find the GCF, list the factors of the two numbers, identify the GCF
- To find the GCF, find the prime factorization of the two numbers, identify
the common prime factors, and multiply the common prime factors
together
20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
GCF is 4
16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
Prime Factorization Using a Factor Tree
20 = 2 x 2 x 5
16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
GCF = 2 x 2 = 4
Find the GCF of each pair of numbers.

Simplest Form
- A fraction is in simplest form when the numerator and denominator have
no common factors except for 1.
- To write a fraction in simplest form, divide the numerator and denominator
by a common factor or GCF until the numerator and denominator have no
common factors except for 1
÷ =
is in simplest form because 4 and 5 have no common
factors except for 1.
Write each fraction in simplest form.
