To reduce a compound
fraction into a single one.
Multiply all the numerators
together for a
numerator and all the
denominators for a the
denominator.-
If a numerator of one
term is a compound fraction to
be equal to a denominator
in another term
reject both and divide
those numerators and
denominators which are
divisible by each other or
by the same number,
which quotients multiplied
into the remaining numerators
& denominators, reduces
the compound fraction to a
single one in its lowest terms.
To reduce mixed numbers
and integers into improper
fractions, I shall divide
this case into three parts -
1. If the integer have no an
assigned denominator,-
Multiply the integer
by the assigned denominator.
the product is the numerator
to the assigned denominator:-
2. If the integer has no
assigned denominator. -
An unit subscribed must
be the denominator.-
3. If the integer have a
fraction annexed,
Multiply the integer by
the denominator, and to
the product add the numerator:
the sum is the
numerator to the denominator
of the annexed fraction.
To reduce the improper
fraction into its equivalent
whole or mixed number,
Divide the numerator
by the denominator, the
quotient gives the integer &
under the remainder subscribe
the denominator.
