How to work out rational fraction

To work out a rational fraction, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Simplify the fraction if necessary by finding the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator and dividing both by it.

2. If the numerator and denominator have a common factor other than 1, divide both the numerator and denominator by that common factor to simplify the fraction.

3. Express the fraction in its simplest form.

4. If the fraction is an improper fraction, convert it to a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator. The remainder will be the new numerator and the original denominator will remain the same.

5. If the fraction is a mixed number, convert it back to an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number by the denominator, then adding the numerator to get a new numerator. The denominator will remain the same.

Following these steps will help you to work out a rational fraction accurately.
