It can be shown that a fraction a / b is irreducible if, and only if, a and b do not have a greatest common divisor. |
It can be shown that a fraction a / b is irreducible if, and only if, a and b do not have a greatest common divisor. |
For example the fraction 2/4 is equal to 1/2 and therefore not irreducible, but the fractions 1/4, 5/6 and 101/100 are irreducible.
It can be shown that a fraction a / b is irreducible if, and only if, a and b do not have a greatest common divisor.
