PART 1
Question 1
Numerator:
Numerator term define as a number which is above the fraction line and it signifies that
the number is divided by the other number which is below the line (Mendez-Carbajo, Jefferson
and Stierholz, 2019). The numerator part can be termed as the dividend.
For an example: 24/4 = 6 Answer
Here it shows that the 24 is numerator which is above the fraction line called as a dividend.
Denominator:
Denominator term define as a number which present below the fraction line and it shows
as the divisor to the numerator. Denominator number can be shown as a divisor.
For an example: 40/10 = 4 solution

This example shows that the 10 is the denominator which is below to the fraction line and can be
named as a divisor.
Question 2
The Simplest form: It defines as the numerator and denominator can be termed as in the
simplest form when the number are prime number. Prime numbers are those number which are
only divide by one or either by itself. As they do not consist of the common factor rather than
one (1) number which is allowed (Russo, 2019).
Step 1 Suggested steps to simplify the 24/40 are as follows.
Here, first to identify the HCF of the numr 24/40
The highest common factor of 24/40 is 8 which come from
2×2×2×3=24
2×2×2×5=40
so the common HCF factor will be 2×2×2=8
Now for the simplest form next step will be to divide both the numerator and denominator by the
HCF number which is 8
24÷8 / 40÷8
24 divides by 8 gives the outcome=3
40 divides by 8 gives the result=5
Therefore, the simplest form of the 24/40 is 3/5
So, the final outcome is 3/5
Step 2 The simplest form for the number 18/42 is as follows
First to find the highest common factor of the 18/42
HCF is as follow 2×3×3= 18
2×3×7=42
so the HCF factor of the 18/42 is 6
now divide both the numerator and denominator by the HCF factor which is 6
18÷ 6 / 42÷ 6
the number 18 divide by 6 gives the result= 3
number 42 divide by the 6 number gives the outcome as=7
so, the possible simplest form of the 18/42 is 3/7
