It is frequntly the case that if your answer isn't a whole number or a simple fraction then you have done something wrong in a test question.

I stopped using frac for simple fractions ( like ?) long ago for this reason . contribs ) 20 : 41, 2 June 2008 ( UTC)

In integral calculus we would want to write a fractional algebraic expression as the sum of its partial fractions in order to take the integral of each simple fraction separately.

What Hotkey uses to insert simple fraction boxes ? ( while or while not using Word Equation ? ) Much thanks . talk ) 12 : 17, 17 August 2013 ( UTC)

When two frequencies are near to a simple fraction, but not exact, the composite wave cycles slowly enough to hear the cancellation of the waves as a steady pulsing instead of a tone.

However, if it could be shown that the above fraction does reduce to a far simpler fraction then the disturbing prospect remains that a clever algebraic method exists that would circuitously produce the same result.

A simple fraction ( as with 12 / 78 ) consists of a numerator ( the top number, 12 in the example ) and a denominator ( the bottom number, 78 in the example ).
18.
A simple fraction in which the numerator and denominator are coprime ( that is, the only positive integer that goes into both the numerator and denominator evenly is 1 ) is said to be irreducible, in lowest terms, or in simplest terms.

This ratio of 1.19 obeys the law because it is a simple fraction ( 1 / 3 ) of 3.58 . ( This is because it corresponds to the formula ICl 3, which is one known compound of iodine and chlorine .)

If two notes are simultaneously played, with frequency ratios that are simple fractions ( e . g . 2 / 1, 3 / 2 or 5 / 4 ), the composite wave is still periodic, with a short period and the combination sounds consonant.
