Simplify 60/4 and 3/8

Enter fraction(s) below:



                 

Simplify and Evaluate the following fraction:

60
4

First, evaluate the numerator and denominator

The numerator is 60
The denominator is 4

Reduce our fraction

GCF(60 and 4) = 4

Reduce the numerator by GCF

(1/4) x 60 = 15

Reduce the denominator by GCF

(1/4) x 4 = 1

Build our reduced answer

15
1

Simplify the improper fraction:

Determine the integer of Numerator ÷ Denominator
Integer = 15 ÷ 1 = 15
Remainder = 15 - 15(1)
Remainder = 15 - 15
Remainder = 0

Build mixed fraction:

Integer & Remainder ÷ Original Denominator
15 & 0/1

Since our denominator is = 1, we simplify and just show the numerator as our answer → 15






You entered a fraction. We need to convert this fraction number to a mixed number.
Let's find the whole number first. The formula for this is:
(Numerator/Denominator) in whole numbers

Using the fraction you entered of 60/4, let's evaluate:
Whole Number = 60 / 4 = 15
Whole Number = Integer(15)
Whole Number = 15

Now we find the fractional portion of the mixed number. The formula for that is:
(Numerator - Denominator x Whole Number)
Denominator

Using the values we entered and calculated, we get:
Fraction Portion  =  (60 - 4 x 15)
  4

Fraction Portion  =  60 - 60
  4

Fraction Portion  =  0
  4

Now combine both pieces and piece together the mixed number:
Mixed Number = Whole Number & fraction Portion
Mixed Number = 15 & 0/4
Mixed Number can also be written as 15 and 0/4








What is the Answer?

15/1
